Well Tempered Amadeus VS WT reference

The GT's plinth is aluminum. No difference in sound between the two, as I can detect.
And yes, yes, yes, Samtse, if you have a reference already or know its sound, then you must have an Amadeus.
(No kidding)
And yes, I don't care for the name, and yes, the golf ball is great for silly punsters to amuse themselves--I don't even see it in my mind's eye while I'm cueing, but the joke will be on them when they hear it--compared to theirs!

Take care.

As great as I thought the reference to be, the amadeus is in a different league entirely, and it costs less! The amadeus has a way of making music that the reference can't approach.
So yes, you need to change. If you could hear them side by side you would instantly realize what I'm trying to describe.

Yes, proof is in the listening, although I'm fond of pudding. You could try and analyze the construction, Firebaugh certainly has, for years, and this is his best effort, regardless of price. Speaking of price, I wouldn't be throwing around terms like twice the price in this case-in some cases, it's been many times the price.

Yes, the amadeus is a radical upgrade from the reference. A half hour or so and you're hooked. I've heard a few different cartridge makes on it, all performed well.

Yes, Samtse, I'm saying you need to get one. I've heard a lot of tables (and owned a few) over the years, like many of you, and it's the best I've heard so far.
