Been considering a return to the vinyl arena for awhile now. Couple of years ago I sold my 250 series Teres with ET II arm. Wonderful sounding table, but it sure took up a lot of room with the pumps, battery pack for the motor and what not. Although there was many a day I missed it.
This time things are going to be simpler. I found a Townshend Rock Mk III on the used market, and thats where I plan to start. This has been a table that caught my attention for many years, although they were never available in my neighborhood. I have owned a Well Tempered Record Player and experienced the benefits of that unusual tone arm. I am very curious to know how well the dampening trough at the end of the tone arm configuration is going to work.
Table does not come with the matching Excalibur arm. Since this is not an assault on the state of the art rig, I am thinking of finding a modified RB 250 for this project. Although there is a Scheu Classic Mk II out on Audiogon that looks interesting, but have no information on this version of the arm. While I loved my WT II arm, it appears that the dampening trough will now allow for a linear tracking arm.
Perhaps the only other choice that has been made is the cartridge. I was completely satisfied with a Dynavector 17D2, so I am going to purchase the updated version of this cartridge. Unless something blindsides me, which is always possible.
Hopefully by the end of the year, if not allot sooner, vinyl will be spinning in the pig pen.
