Lovely tables. Second cart sounds especially sibilant, though..

[@loitran7105]

You are right, the Ikeda sounds a little sibilant

[@hemen-dex]

Great system and vids! Where can I get a record weight like this?

[@jaysullivan9545]

Cart 2 silibent, hard sounding.

[@gonzalogrillo958]

Yes nice tables , but something wrong with sibilance. What aftermarket platter you put on that beauty?

[@loitran7105]

You are right, the Ikeda sounds a little sibilant, You can watch the new platter and bearing upgrade at the link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipnEhYibf7KVrLM

@@loitran7105 I think the real problem was the second arm SME but shure is the cardrige setup or something not related to the arm , the sme is a really good arm.

[@loitran7105]

@@gonzalogrillo958 Not yet 3012R is a universal mass tonearm and can take a ranger of cartridge compliance than another tonearm I know the Ikeda problem with the suspension needs to be serviced, I'll do it and you can see the Ikeda work on SME-3012R well in the future. the old Ikeda is one of the best cartridges my loved

I subscribed just to watch the wooden cylinder rotating ☝️👍😀🤗😎

You are gentlemen 👍😊

Sounds really good. Even through KZbin and the computer, you can feel it. On the other hand, I said that it is not a miracle. I think an original well-tuned Lenco (I have 2) with a decent MM head would have a similar sound.

[@loitran7105]

The sound may be similar mate I wish to learn to cut costs for my systems

[@oldcat3647]

@@loitran7105 Exactly. Money and the goodness of components do not always decide the results. I also had to learn this lesson. Of course, as an enthusiast, I would also like to have a Garrard and an expensive tonearm. But I already know that I won't be able to get more out of it than Lenco. That's why I'm calm and now I only listen to the computer speakers (they play really well, even though they're cheap). And ~1000 vinyl, two turntables, and two DIY tube amplifiers with DIY speakers are sitting idle. I feel that I have passed this stage.

[@sjallthesound1659]

Love your setup but man sorry to say that record weight really takes away from the whole look.

[@loitran7105]

Oh no 😂 I know is not a perfect design, But ebony timber is not easy to buy today

[@osliverpool]

To be honest, it all sounds terrible to me. It's clearly good equipment, but it sounds no better than the desktop audio system I use for KZbin... oh, hang on... 😀

[@Kowinaida]

Sounds awful...
