I stand corrected it is a black golf ball according to the article. But looking at it, I was certain that is was white. |
I'm really Teed off because I hate golf. |
The price for the tables is New Zealand pricing. I took this off from Totally wired. They state the price for the tables will costs less than a Linn tone arm. Hope this info helps.
Amadeus Turntable - Dual layer MDF sandwich construction plinth, complete with tone arm and isolation base NZ$4,400
Amadeus GT Turntable - Dual layer acrylic sandwich construction plinth, complete with tone arm and isolation base NZ$5,700
Acrylic dust cover for all models NZ$630
WT Isolation base for use with other turntables and CD players NZ$710 |
Yes, I do agree with you Grimace about a black golf ball might have been a better choice. But this is what Linn should be doing at this point by offering a product completely user friendly,instead of being tied to a tech. |
Now that we got most of the comedy out of the way. Does anyone have any construtive ideas about this table? I am also getting different prices during my search. |
You do not have to get it with the wtt arm, a Dynavector 507 Tonearm can be mounted on the table. I am personal convinced that this table might not be a prince in the looks department, but will make many very pricey models stand up and take notice. The WTA with it's ease of setup along with superior sound using it's own arm, will finally mark the Linn's last days on earth.And prove that the Linn's design was flawed and now obsolete. |
A)work on the appearance
and
B)excersize a little more intelligence in its marketing copy
I can only guess what you are trying to say.They meaning WTT should have just kept their mouths shut about the use of the golf ball,or just hide the fact that one is being used? |
Martykl I would agree with you on some points. But I will say and in your own words when a "high school project" trashes an $8,000 dollar table. Then we must reevaluate most high end tables and arms, and then consider why a pioneering product such as the WTA with it's precession perfect sphere golf ball. A product in my mind that took alot of and no pun intended "BALLS"" put into production.That is going to kick many of the same mega buck table's and arm combos that now have to justify there cost. |
You are going to see many in less then a year after purchase, being placed on the used market. And not because of poor performance, but the golf ball jokes will leave to many with a bad taste with thoughts that they have made a bad purchase. |
Chashas1 are you talking to me you most be talking to me because their is no one else in the room so you most be talking to me. |
yes in the past I had the original WTT classic with square motor, also the WTT record player along with a Goldmund studio table and 3b arm along with others. Such as a VPIHW19,Musichall MF-5,7 tables. I can talk with some experience and say I love the WTT tables and would be very happy to hear from any member that has the new WTA and their opinions. |
Compared to a Grand Prix Monaco and Dr.Fickert it still sounded great.
And please tell us all what is the retail price of the above system? |
David nice hearing from you. I agree with you that the WTT arms are somewhat tweaky, but over a short time things start to snap into place and the table becomes very stable with a long period of time. I hope and I'm sure that the new table from WT is much less and according to many a breeze to setup and a large improvement in performance. My only other complaint was with the early arm's fragile tonearm cartridge clips, so lets hope that this has been addressed. I have no problem excepting that there are better tables out there. But it seems that Linn as a following of religious fanatic's that like to shout everyone down with how great their table is. When in all actuality, it was bye passed in sound quality over 20years ago by other tables. |
