Happy easter

That’s a rare old beast of a turntable you’ve got there Tom. Looks very cool. Does the motor live on the outrigger just visible to the left rear, or is that a mounting place for another arm?
Project Eperience X Pack with Ortofon Rondo Red MC, Oppo BDP 105D, 2 x Sonos Connect, QNAP HS251+ NAS with 2 X 6TB Western Digital Red, Mac 5K 32GB running Lifetime Roon, iPad Pro 12.9" for remote control. Etalon Ethernet Isolator, Devialet 440 Pro CI, Sonus faber Olympica ll with Isoacoustics Gaia ll feet, Auralic Taurus Mkll headphone amp., Denon AH-D5000, Sennheiser HD600 and HD800 with Cardas cable, Van Den Hul The First Ultimate and Crystal interconnects, Furutech power cables, GSP Audio Spatia speaker cable.
the "rare old biest" and the tonearm are over 30 years old and therefore quite a contrast to the Devialet and the quite current DPS3.
The same is for the tonal alignment of the two turntables - the Bauer/Colibri with extreme resolution and "fast" as well as "appealing" playing, the Micro/AT33-EV rather on the "laid back" side with much more fundamental, a bit "fuller" bass and not quite as concise high frequencies - ideal for older and a bit "thin"-produced music / pressing.
The DDX 1500 is a direct drive unit, the external power supply can be seen on the vinyl shelf to the left of the DPS3 power supply.
At the back left of the turntable there is an acrylic base for a broom.

A selection of different pickup:
Accuphase, vdHul, Grace, EMT, Nagoka, Roksan, Precept (Audio Technica) etc. some already a few years old and two need a new needle! But since I sold my Thorens TD 126 for a long time, the pickup are not used! Slowly I'm already thinking about whether maybe a player will be bought again! Let's see

Hi Folks,
tested a view external phono-pres the last weeks - and move from Devialet-Phono to the PhonoLab 1.0 from AudioSpecials.
Also added a second stoic wall-mount for the DDX an switch from AT33EV to Jico Seto Hori.
Changes in 2020:
- upgrade to 440pro CI
- Blizzard Powercord for the Devialets
- on the FR64s: Ortofon SPU Classic GME MKII with Step-Up XF-1 L from Fidelity Research
- Sorane TA-1 with the "old" Jico Seto Hori
- Upgrade to AudioValve Solaris (instead of Luminare)
Speakers are still the same (and will be for a very long time) - TAD CE-1:
