new turntable

[Dr Bunsen Honeydew]

Jayman, Jammy is off on one, we just let him get on with it, don't over react. Don't kick the dog because it pissed on your foot.

With a bit of luck he will really have a go at his Single Malt hoard with some McEwans tinnies to wash it down and we will get some classic Jammy Vogan Poetry to entertain our Saturday night.

cheers dave,i had a mission 774 before on my AR 'the turntable' is was a good combination and id probably still be using it if it wasn't for the sloppy tt bearing. i then got the lp12,im very keen to hear how the heybrook sounds compared to the old fruitbox,the arm board is cut for a linn so i can plonk the ittok straight on.
mine has the aluminium sub chassis so its a later model,just have to make an armboard for the 774.

The Ittok sounds great on the TT2 and I remember a Heybrook system of the time (demonstrated by Peter Comeau, whom I knew fairly well back then) which made wonderfully communicative sounds at a show - TT2/Ittok/Asak/don't remember the preamp but the power amps were EAR 509's into HB2's. The record was 'Cantate Domino,' a well loved and superbly recorded demo disc back then and the sound from the little HB2's was the best I ever heard them.

The ally sub-chassis will open the TT2 up to all manner of tone-arms I think and like the later AR 'Legend,' as it was called in the UK (ES1 in the US?), won't ever seem to get in the way I think from memory. The old LP12 bass was severely coloured, giving a nice warm but smeared tone to everything played on it and the tubular sub TT2 had a sort of ringy, hollow midrange when compared with the very best I remember, although for the price I never had complaints. To be fair to Linn, modern versions are so much better, but sadly, the price you pay for them is utterly ridiculous now, as a Spacedeck for a grand is better - and maybe other similar baby heavyweights too from Avid and so on... The sanctimonious attitudes of the better LP12 setter-uppers is also very off-putting.
