Hi,
Just to tell you that she paid USD 4,000 for the turntable. Not that bad at all. A bargain really.
So we are both looking forward to rigging it :)
Cheeers, Toffen |
I got my wife a motor upgrade for her turntable for our anniversary a couple of years ago. She was thrilled. Still talks about it. She is definitely a keeper. |
I agree with Chosenhandle reg. Brinkmann but this means that the Breuer 8 from which Brinkmann is 'deduced' will be
also the 'dream choice'. Assuming that you are not yet in
the situation to afford them I would recommend an second hand Triplanar VII.

Actually the Brinkmann 12 and 10.5 Tonearms mate very well with the la grange. Also the ti cartridge brings a nice synergy to the combination. |
I'm not saying Toffen isn't a lucky guy. He is. |
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. |
agree with lloydc...if it looks too good to be true...yada yada....enjoy your record collection. |
Nothing is free. The cost of her future birthdays, anniversarys, and holidays has entered a new realm. |
Dear Toffeng, I am glad for you but you have no idea what
you are doing to us. A pair of socks is what I usualy expect for my birthday.
Regards, |
Hi,
Thanks!
She bought it second hand from London, and everything looks just fine. At the moment you can get great deals on craiglist over there. Amazing really.
So the next move is the tonearm, riaa and pickup. I think I have to buy these :)
Any experiences with Ortofon or Graham Phantom II for this turntable?
Rest of my equipment are Burmester amp, Burmester 061 cd player, Revox B77Mk2 reel to reel player and Wilson Sophia 2 speakers.
Cheeers and thanks to all,
Toffen |
I got mine a record cleaner and a whole bunch of old LPs. Didn't go over well. |
Watch out, there seems to be serious mental instability in your household that will place both of you in the poor house. Enjoy. |
Yu are trice blessed.
1) It seems your wife cares about your hobbies
2) Your wife actually knows what a good TT is
3) Your are rich enough to afford a Brinkmann LaGrange. |
Does she have a twin sister?Sounds like you have a great wife, hopefully she will listen with you. The fifties are great, happy birthday. Scott |
You are a lucky who has a wife that understands your passion for music. I am very lucky too. |
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. |
I'd like to write a story about it and publish it! |
Wow.
Reminds me of the time my wife said: "We should take equity out of the house and build a dedicated sound room behind the garage." I didn't take her up on the offer, but I considered myself lucky to be married to someone so interested in my happiness.
Enjoy it.

You have a wonderful wife, cherish her. Happy 50th!
