turntable porn

just saw one of these up for grabs..... drool.

 

Where?

 

that would be telling!!!

it is offered for £2750, which seems like a steal as there were apparantly only seven ever made and they retailed for £4250 or so. personally i think it's the nicest looking turntable i've ever seen!

it's more than i wanted to spend on my upgrade, especially as i need a phono stage too, but it really is beautifull....

ok here you go.....

actually looking at it next to my avatar, it would look great with the rest of my system!!!

 

It's a mistake. The picture's of an S7, he's selling an S8 - totally different animal.

 

a few alternatives:

from walrus

Verdier Nouvelle Platine / Morch DP6 12" arm (no cart) sh GBP 2195.00
Amazon Model Two turntable (no arm or cart) sh GBP 950.00 new addition

from definitive audio

Nottingham Analogue Mentor with SME V £2300 £4300

from emporium

NOTTINGHAM ANALOGUE HYPERSPACE , SPACE ARM , TRACER 2 CARTRIDGE 1950

 

oh well, it's still nice turntable porn, and it saves me agonizing over wether i should spunk the cash on it or not!! (as if it was ever an option...... )

 

but that looks interesting!

 

MAX are selling both SME20/2A and 30/2A - where's that card!

Blake, the S8 was a suspended design and was only made for a year -about ten years ago. I suspect it's less of a steal than it appears.

There seem to be loads of esoteric tt's around on the used market at the moment- the urge to upgrade is mighty! But I wonder just how much more one gets from these old beasts compared with something more recent and better priced?

 

blake, the Mentor with a SME V for a few hundred more is better value IMHO.

My money would either go on that or the Nouvelle Platine - what a gorgeous deck that is.

Even if you have to get a budget Denon cartridge and a Graham Slee phono stage, I dont think you'd ever regret having such a good turntable and arm as either of the above.

 

Hi,

Here are some Simon Yorke turntables. The 7 and 8.

the 8 still looks like a beautiful turntable doesnt it?



I havent heard an 8 and only heard the dearer Platine Verdier so cant really compare the sonics.

Heres the Nouvelle -

Not nearly as Pornaliscious as that Yorke!

 

i can't seem to find any pictures of what the mentor looks like... has any one seen any anywhere?

 

I've seen bottleneck's mentor. Big plinth, big platter, sounds all right too

A lot of TT for the money.

cheers

Stop looking, this is the coolest TT ever. End of story.

So can I take your "obviously unwanted" Garrard off your hands then, Paul?

 

NAS Mentor - AceSpace - Kontrapunkt B.

Yes!

 

The Mentor looks different depending on its age. That picture must be an early Mentor - Ive never seen a dust cover on a Nottingham deck before, and the motor position is different amongst other things to my Mentor.

The mentor was the model down from the top one (Anna-Log) in the NAS range. Its replacement is the Dais.
