 pull the trigger on this puppy. Getting the Jelco SA-750D arm with it.





I've got a buttload of carts already mounted in compatible headshells, including a SS retipped ebony body DL-103, a Dyna 20XL and several MMs and HOMCs.







Opus 33 1/3

 From what I've seen available in the new market, this seems like a good purchase. Interested in your opinions.

Congrats Henry. That looks like a really nice turntable. That with the Jelco arm you should be all set. We are all awaiting your impressions...

 I hope it's even better than you anticipate.

 Beat hell out of my (former) VPI JMW 10.5i (to my ancient ears, IMHO, in my system).

 

Let us know how you like it...nt, posted on May 24, 2017 at 05:11:22

 Hello! I live in the Memphis area and have known George Merrill for about 40 years. I've heard that turntable numerous times at his store and I predict you will be happy with your purchase. Enjoy!

 

Congrats! I love my 750E..., posted on May 24, 2017 at 07:11:54

 I thoroughly enjoyed mine.

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.


 

Congrats! Look forward to reading your impressions of that tt/arm. nt, posted on May 24, 2017 at 07:56:46

 I wonder if it will be around in fifty years, like the Thorens?

I'd be interested to hear your opinions of the quality of the parts, the fitnfinish.

 Spent some time at George's shop a few years ago. Great guy and that table is phenomenal by all accounts. Congratulations.
