Finally got around to putting the TD160 back into service with the SME.. a few minor fixes/adjustments were needed on both, and a few still are. But they're already showing great promise.

This is a straight 45 rip, no futzing around, just 100% Muscle Shoals analog magic:

The M75G (lucked out on a NOS one, but once it's gone - it's gone!) has got to be one of the best styli out there for 45s - light-tracking spherical at 2 grams, particularly great for those shitty styrene pressings that seem to wear down just from looking at them.

Hope you enjoy it - cheers!

Here it is.. best I could do, looks a bit sh*t because of all the touching up that I had to do to get the camera noise out:



 

Nice, what is/are the units to the right? )MT(, posted on March 24, 2017 at 16:35:30

NAD 3220PE and a Sansui D-350M direct-drive cassette deck. I don't use the latter much these days, still sounds great though.
