Cool tables...what is the last one? Love the carbon fiber and wood mash up.
Is it fair to ask if left on a desert island, what 1-2 tables you would take with you??

Darrin.....A brief discription: Originally Posted by Dpod4

I enjoy both tables and both do well with many different cartridges.Dealer / Manufacture Disclosure:

Thanks, Jeff. I'm running the Clearaudio with a Benz LP-S which I think softens things a bit. I definitely wouldn't want things any leaner or more analytical tho so happy to hear the comparison.

Okay...what better way to have my second post here...
I currently have 4 tables in my stable (stable of tables?..hmmm) though I have owned quite a few. I started refurbing and selling to friends in need and heck, I just love to play with them. I even make wood bases for some to dress them up (you would be surprised)
So the first four...
DIY - Do iT yourself self built table (made using a Dual EDS500 motor, platter and strobe) , AT1100 arm and an AT OC9/III MC cart
Dual 721 with custom base I built - AT150Mlx Cart
ATLP120 for a knock around and AT440Ml/OCC - Technics SL1200 and I share the cart with the ATLP120
The other pics are tables I have SPRUCED UP...

What a great setup. Mike, and I think everyone else, is trying to get me into a TT setup. I said yes but I'm still a few months away from pulling the trigger. I am looking forward to it.

In terms of setup, I have a handy Intro to Turntable setup video if you need that kind of help. 20 minutes long for the basic beginner. Probably could use an update and I am still planning a second video on IN DEPTH CARTRIDGE AND TONEARM ALIGNMENT past the basic setup
Video is on youtube here

Bay...Yes it does come like that and I tore the cantilever right off about a year ago with my LP brush Originally Posted by ohbythebay
As to Benz inventory or lack thereof, I believe it has to do with them being a very small shop and having more demand than they can deal with, although, it does not seem like they have the same issues keeping inventory in Europe and Asia, so I am not sure what the whole story is there. I do know the US importer has had issues with them for a while. They have been quoting me a year turnaround to do a retip on the cart. I may just have to bite the bullet and either do a Soundsmith retip which will change the sonic character of the cart or go with something like the Dynavector 20X-2 for now until I can pony up for a hgher end cart. We'll see.

A while back I ordered an AT cart you can only get in Japan (AT33PTG/II)...Took 4 weeks to get here. Mounted and the suspension was collapsed. The seller was great, I shipped it back and he immediately sent me another ...I had it two days and had a loose wire...and did the dumbest thing ever...used a soldering iron on the terminal clip and wire..without taking it off the cart !!! Smoked. Spent another 600 for a new one...two months...suspension failed...I contacted AT and they dont warranty ones purchased overseas.
Bottom line, AT stepped up and said they would replace it and gave me a choice ..another AT33 from Japan (3 week wait) or they would let me have a US Model - the AT OC9/III...I took door number 2 ...been working fine...
Reason I feel your pain is I know what its like to not have the cart and to feel like your have a rock and a hard place...Best of luck..If I see the Benz available I will be sure to let you know !!!MAIN RIG: Equipment: Marantz SR4023 as Pre / Velleman K4040 Tube Power Amp / Yamaha M65 Power Amp / Polk Monitor 70's with Polk Sub / ClearAudio Concept table with Musical Surroundings Phonomena II Phono Stage and ClearAudio Concept MC cart /Pioneer PL500 TT with AT440MLa
