Back around summer last year, I had developed an interest in Vinyl records since they were most often described to possess the sound qualities I was looking for.
With the help of many people on the AV123 forums, I decided to purchase something entry level to "test" the waters. Suffice to say, I became greatly addicted to Vinyl shortly after purchasing the Project Debut 3.
Flash forward to now, and I would say that I am bordering on a vinyl junkie. The cheap prices of vinyl records garage sales and ebay auctions over has led me to broaden my musical horizons to include almost a little bit of everything.
I used to only purchase heavy metal, but, Vinyl records have opened me up to the likes of Billy Joel, Elton John, The Carpenters, Prince, Led Zepplin, ZZ Top, Phil Collins, ELO, etc, etc; the list goes on forever.
After realizing how much I truly did love Vinyl records, I decided to purchase a "real" turntable and make an attempt to step into the TT "big leagues."
Disclaimer: In the land of 10-150,000 dollar TTs, many still consider this new TT "budget." But its probably the most I'll ever spend, so for me its a huge investment and "big league" enough
So, here it is..!!
A JA Michell GyroDec SE. Equipped with Michell's own Tecnoarm and a Dynavector 20x HO Cart!
I purchased it from Needledoctor.com. Words of suggestions; if you need something TT related seriously consider needledoctor.com. I worked with Brian, and for about a month via emails he promptly answered all of my questions and gave me the suggestions that led me to this table. All of the guys there also helped me set this up on Friday; awesome group.
Set up of this thing was a BEAR for me. I have never set up a turntable this in depth so it took me pretty much the entirety of the day to do it between setting up the table itself and aligning the cartridge, VTA, etc, etc.
I am letting it break in before getting into a full in depth review, but for now, I'll say that I am extremely happy so far. :huge:
If anyone has any suggestions for me in further fine tuning; please post!
Thanks for reading!
