Yes, it's Alex's turntable on which he plays the music of Ludwig van: http://www.filmandfurniture.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/record-player-1024x576.jpg There's also one in the Design Collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York: https://www.moma.org/collection/works/3339 I really should replace the damping fluid, and I could also use a new drive belt. Looking at it now, though, I see I have a V15 MkIV rather than III. I still have the original Transcriptors arm, although I replaced it with the SME as soon as I got the turntable (acquired in the 1970s as part of a deal with Clive Taylor, former bassist of Amen Corner). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ftlight's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5294 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106519 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/audiophiles
