WTF ? ...

Posted by reelsmith. (A) on October 24, 2014 at 15:31:35

WTF = Which Turntable Friday

Premise: Someone is stupid enough to offer you your choice of the turntables pictured below, for FREE. All you need to do is explain why you chose the one you did and it is yours. Free is a good price, so pick one.

This week’s choices are the Dynavector DV500 and the Audio Basis Art. The DV500 was made for Dynavector by Well Tempered and is said to maximize the capabilities of the DV505 arm. The Audio Basis is said to be an all-out assault on isolation and incorporates what they claim to be one of the world’s finest turntable motors. Oh, it weighs 400 pounds.

Audio Basis Art



This is an unusually easy choice for me. I’ll take the Dynavector, for a few reasons. First, I like turntables that look like turntables. Second, I prefer turntables that fit in a rack, rather than are a rack. I also have no need for any component that weighs 400 pounds. I don't even want a system that adds up to 400 pounds. And lastly, I've always lusted after the Dynavector arm, so this is an opportunity to scratch that itch.

So, which is the one for you and why?

A request; if you folks want to play WTF next week, someone will need to fill in for me as I will not be around. Better yet, a few of you should give it a shot. More WTFs, more fun.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Dean.
