• anyone owned/heard a Well Tempered turntable, just idle future upgrade end game thoughts at the mo (the simplex 2)

    i’m not a golf batting fan but that arm is quite something.

  • Yes, I have a WTL Simplex (with Dynavector DV 10X5) paired to Naim Uniti Nova and Neat SX2 speakers, this was a step up from a Linn Basik turntable with some upgrades. Audibly so.

    It doesn't feel fiddly at all, although the hair-thin (and just knotted together) drive 'belt' keeps amazing me. And the build quality is good although it has a bit of a DIY feel to it, compared to more robust turntables like a Thorens or LP12.

  • thanks, this is all a way off but i’m looking at a similar end game as i currently have a rega P3 that needs a sevice and a new cart (i don’t even have a phono stage now) but i need to decide on sticking with a unitiqute and adding a NAP100 or flogging it and getting a serviced NAC72/NAP140 plus whatever streaming box that does tidal/internet radio.
    sold a 90/92 and went for the streaming option but the olive pre/power is an itch i want to scratch.
    Speakers are Leema xero which are great but i will need something bigger.
    i just want better bass (better not necessarily deeper) and that means a different deck or lots of mods along with improvements down the signal path.
