My next turntable, looking for ideas

[1KW]

This turntable looks interesting in a minimalist kind of way. Anyone ever seen or heard one ? Any comments appreciated.

David,

The Technodec is an entry level Gyrodec. Not suspended. May sound as a Rega P3 I suppose, but should be dryer because Rega uses a wood plinth...
Did not hear the Techno but I know the Gyro. Very good suspended TT. Looks stunning.
But I think a Majik LP12, although looking rather "old style", sound slightly better than the Gyro, for the same price...
The VPI classic looks also very interesting.

I am also interested in the VPI classic as well.

If I were spending VPI Classic money I would buy the Roksan Radius 5 w/Nima arm and be done with it. Second choice would be the Clearaudio Performance SE.

Art K...have you heard the VPI Classic and compared it to the Clearaudio Performance SE or the Roksan? If so, how would you describe the sonics of the different tables? I know there were probably differences in carts, phono stages and so on that will also contribute to the different sonic signatures of the different tables. It sounds like you are not a fan of the Classic so just wondering what specifically you were not happy with. Thx

I just spoke to the dealer who sold me my SF Elipsa speakers. He said the people at VPI are very nice but he has had problems with the fit and finish on several of these turntables and ultimately stopped ordering them . He can get them but he recommended the Pro-ject RP-10 and the Pro-Ject Xtension. Here is a picture of the RP-10

They have recently upgraded the RPM 10 to the 10.1. Several changes were made at that time.

David.......Horns are popular right now.





Of course, if horns don't do it for you, this might be an alternative. I'm sure you can't beat the price.
