I met George Widman, owner of George Warren Precision Sound at CES in January. After hearing and seeing his turntable, I was so impressed I told him I would buy one on the spot. I requested a custom made table using Macassar Ebony which Geoge searched and found a source of the rare wood at a good price. George kept me in the loop through all phases of the building process, sending me photos as it progressed. This is truly a hand made turntable and George is very concerned about quality like nobody I know. As for the sound, I was impressed with the sound with the stock tonearm (Rega Moth 2), but I chose to upgrade to a Tri-Planar Mk VII. A custom arm board was beautifully built out of 3/8-inch thick clear acrylic. I added a Benz-Micro LP S MR cartridge and have never looked back. With the 12-volt outboard drive motor and monofiliament drive belt this is the quietest turntable I have ever had the pleasure to listen to. The build quality and George's commitment to hand-crafting a beautiful product is second to none. This is truly a bargain in high-end turntables.
George-Warren Turntable
Has anyone listened to this turntable yet? I have seen one review and would like other opinions. I like the look and the price but the sound comes first.
This is for a second table as I am very happy with my Basis Debut. I change wands for my Phantum to go between mono and stereo.
I talked with the maker and said I was interested but I need to be able to mount 2 arms on my next table. One arm for mono and the other setup for 7" 45s. I feel 45s really need a differant setup because of the thinkness and width. He said he was in the process of adding another arm board and would inform me when it was completed.
Any info would be helpful.
Thanks
