My wifes birthday present - a turntable


Hi!

Hope you are all well :)

I crossed 50 years two weeks ago and I received a birthday present from my wife beyond dreams - a Brinkmann LaGrange!

I will receive the turntable over the week end. Its early days so I have to look for tonearms. This is a two arm version, so I wonder if I should buy a reasoanble arm first - and go for the ultimate one when I have the money.

Ortofon has some nice tonearms for approx. USD 2K in Norway. The arm of the dreams would be Graham Phantom II. How do you think this arm will suit the Brinkmann?

I have ordered the wall mounted stand, but Brinkmann also reccommend to use an silotaion base underneath the table. I have been reccommended the M3X Isolation Base from HRS. Any experiences?

I will keep you updated. A new era has begun :)

Cheeers and thanks, Toffen

Take another wife like the one you have - she will get you the right tonearm and other auxillary audiophile stuff for your 51st.
Happy birthday.
Come on, guys, the man got a great turntable; let's spare him all this other stuff. He asked about particular tonearms and he prefers clear dynamic sound, so tell him something about those and other arms.I have no idea.
