Arrival of 4 Ears from Germany for Shootout in my Home. Rockport Sirius III Direct Drive Turntable with Linear Arm / Micro Seki 8000 in a unique version with an additional RX 3000 as an interia unit.
Some mods have to be done first, but the System is getting the right temperature......

Haha, Eckart...that's a nice comment -- during our remodel, the contractors would exclaim, "Watch out! Here comes Eagle Eye with his laser!" Hehe...They're all friends.

Alan, analog -- especially master tapes/dubs (if AAA) -- remain the acme for me; however, I'm ecstatic with what I've heard with DSD and marvel at your vinyl rig(s) -- I've had the pleasure of experiencing your Sirius III -- thank you, Mike :-)

Vbr,

Thuchan, well put on your above post regarding the magazines. That's why I started AVShowrooms... to do video reports so you can see how we set up, integrate into our systems and test equipment. Plus, we'll have video share pages where you can upload (your) youtubes (the codes) of your system and how you got it to where it is. I would love to see a video of comparing the Micro to the Rockport. I still lust after that darn Rockport. I would also love to see a video of you explaining your tables and how and why you set them up the way you have.
Dear Peter,
I appreciate your motivation and I am sure you're doing it the right way.
Nevertheless what I am experiencing on my thread "Which are the Top Performing Turntables" does not encourage me very much investing time on showing and explaining units of my system on an open platform. Pls. do understand I am not talking about you, not at all!  But who prevents such a platform being hijacked by Bill Feil or some other guys who have different motivations on platforms than our community.

best @ fun only
Hi Alan
The Rockport table looked familiar.
Listen to it at Mike's many times. Very nice.
Your a very lucky man to have such a great room and system.
Very curious of your impressions on the two tables.

Syntax thank you for the great pictures, thank you for sharing.
