i had a 4 day shootout with my thorens 147 jubilee, and my friend's superb well tempered classic, and vpi hw3....it hung in with both tables even with a much cheaper cartridge than the other three.
mission 775s w/774 arm...a forgotten jewel?
Added this table/arm combo to my hifi museum, and i gotta say it rocks. Somehow missed this in the 80's, and i'm very pleased to have found one today. Playing with a garrott bros. k3 and it is one of the most pleasing analogue front ends i've ever used. Anyone else have one of these?

IIRC, there is the 774 and the 774LC tonearms. Different from one another. The 774LC is like an early upgraded Jelco ST-250, the one that was at the end run of ST-250's. I believe it was pretty well identical to one of the Jelco sourced AudioQuest arms. https://www.vinylengine.com/library/mission/774lc.shtml I've got an unused 775 with a 774LC tucked away (literally unused since it was used in an audio review, when it was new). |
