Many thanks for your classical LP recommendations. Some real gems and many that I don't have.
Am in the process of ordering a pair of Amperex 7308 PQ tubes for the GAT from Brent Jesse. Would appreciate any comments/advise.
Cheers

I had the pleasure of listening to Suteetat's system in his Bangkok condo a few days back. It truly is a world class system, assembled with great affection and meticulous attention to detail. The system pics do no justice as Suteetat has just finished a major system overhaul with Eventus speakers and Ayon amps with the KT 150s. Our listening session was way too short and barely did justice to am impressive LP collection. I have requested Suteetat to compile a list of must have top 10 classical audiophile LPs given his breadth of knowledge of classical music.
Congrats on a superb achievement and keep the vinyl spinning

Hi Suteetat
When does the BN platter arrive ?. I may be in Bangkok in early Dec. Do send a PM if a meeting is feasible ?

Hi Suteetat
Congrats on your 3 motor upgrade on the TW. Any idea about the cost of upgrade to the BN platter ?
Cheers

Suteetat, the wall mount bracket I have( check my system pics) was specially fabricated. Given the weight of the TW, I found that my earlier floor mounted rack was top heavy and hence not rock solid stable as a TT rack should be. The difference post wall mounting is significant. I had 2 brass brackets cast by a friend with a 2.5" MDF board on top. The TW sits on a HRS isolation platform with the 3 motor BN unit on a separate MDF base. I would seriously recommend that you explore a wall mount, if your room situation permits. It's a minor expense compared to the cost of your system and well worth it.
I can't really comment on the benefits of the 3AC motors vs the BN motor as I got the whole package. Given a choice I would prefer the BN motor as its heavier and I suspect more stable( not talking speed) than 3 individual motors etc.
Cheers

Congratulations on an awesome system. If you are still contemplating the TW AC 1 vs BN 3 motor route,I would be happy to share my experience. I finally took the plunge for the BN PSU+ motor last month.
Have my TT on a wall mounted bracket. IMHO , if possible,that's the best isolation.
I do get to Bangkok at least once a year.
