Man that is pretty!
Good music, a good source, and good power can make SDA's sing. Tubes make them dance.

    I'll be the odd man out and claim that a turntable should along with speakers be a separate design element from the rest of the rack. I like how Mac stuff looks, but I never warmed to their TT look.

    Beautiful piece of equipment. It reminds me of the good ol' days when some high end turntables had super heavy polished granite platters that took several minutes to come up to speed when they were powered up. Remember when folks would do wild stuff like putting their turntables on cinder blocks or suspending them from ceilings for better isolation from vibration? Remember the infamous green felt tip pen that was used to make a ring around the outer edge of a CD to improve sound quality? Interesting.

    I love the look of that sucker as well.

    I had a pic on my work desktop for awhile, but have switched it to a VPI Scout. Come to think of it...the Scout's been there awhile I should probably find a new picture of a TT I can't afford to salivate over :)

    The 1st Time I saw it, it really grabbed my eye and put a smile on my face :) I just think that if you had a all mac set-up it would be a perfect and natural fit to the system. but I still love the wood TT from Pro-ject & VPI especially the olive wood.

    I always love an oversized, totally over the top platter! Too bad uranium is radioactive, imagine what a weighty platter that would make?

    I too am over the McIntosh look/design. I remember visiting a guy in Jersey who had just spent a good bit of coin on a Mac amp and one of their CD players. He beamed with glee then put on a couple of CDs. I thought to myself, "That kinda sounds like a $200 Sony player, pretty harsh up top". And I did not care for the amp either.

    But I realize there are "tube" versions that are probably fine.

    ^^^Kinda makes that album look like a 45........something like that doesn't just sit on top of the CD player.

    16 inch platter for transcription discs.
    That particular Fairchild model (the 750) is the sine qua non.
