My $.02. I too think that the WTT is a great and novel design. And I agree with others that a Walker or other high quality motor controller will provide an amazing improvement that you won't believe until you hear it. However, I personally have never been a fan of the WT tonearm. I think it's over-damped and squeezes the life out of at least the cartridges that I've heard on it. If one wanted to mount a different tonearm on the WTT, one's choice might be limited to surface-mount types, but I think it might make for an interesting experiment. BTW, I think that the WTT w/Reference tonearm now retails for ~$10K. Not such a bargain for that much money.
Well Tempered Reference Vs Nottingham
Hello,
Has anyone compared a Well Tempered Reference TT Vs the Nottingham line? I currently have an older Well Tempered reference: fountainhead base, square motor, reference carbon arm & composite platter & Shelter 901 + Atma pre & amp.
I've been extremely pleased with it but it's time to move on after 15 years. I'm looking for something contemporary that can be had for around 2,500 that also exceeds the performance of my table.
If anyone has any thoughts, I'd appreciate any comments.
Thanks,
Steve
