for the Anniversary Vector
I've had a Pink Triangle Anniversary since they first appeared on the market. I remember visiting the only shop in the UK that provided a side by side comparison of the Linn Sondek, the PT modified Linn and the Anniversary. The dealer thought it was a waste of time and I agreed shortly afterwards since the Anniversary was on a different level.I had been considering a new turntable for some time but the wife’s view on hi-fi expenditure is pretty negative. When the funk company started to offer upgrades I realized I could get a full vector/bearing and power supply upgrade under the banner of 'its gone for a service'.
The upgrade did take a couple of months for a variety of reasons and when it returned it looked almost identical (I had top plate replaced with the carbon fibre one due to a slight crack).
To be honest I was not expecting too much and was not prepared for the vast improvements I heard. Vocals are now incrediably real and bass has improved dramatically. It's without a doubt the best £980 I've ever spent on hifi.
It’s difficult to say where in current rankings the Anniv lies but it certainly beyond a Michell Orbe and many of the Clearaudio lower level offerings.
Product Weakness: The bouncy suspension and pain of teasing off tight fitting albums from the centre spindle. Product Strengths: Sound quality
