Description

The Lenco PTP 6 started as a Lenco Bogen 75.  The chassis was replaced with a PTP 6 kit, the motor and bearing refurbished and the idler wheel upgraded to Audio Silente. All was mounted on a custom made massive plinth. The Lenco/Triplanar with the Airtight PC-1 runs straight into the CAT MC loaded down to 150 ohms.  The Lenco/Schick with Aidas Mammoth Gold goes through a Bob’s SUT and the Steelhead MM to the CAT.  The Garrard 301/ Ortofon TA-110 with a Benz LP runs through a second Bob’s Devices SUT through the Ayre P-5xe MM then the Manley Steelhead line section to the CAT.  The London Decca on the Garrard by passes the SUT directly to the Ayre MM. The VPI HW-19 with ET II arm and Koetsu Rosewood Signature runs through the Steelhead MC loaded at 100 ohms to the CAT.  The Aurender N-10 uses the DAC in the Esoteric O7.

you are quite welcome. it is difficult to let the tables go… especially after some journey in getting them sorted. I suspect you will enjoy the Ayre phono… I can’t remember if Charlie bothered with a power switch - leave it on.  Best to you in music

A lovely well thought out and executed system.. longtime Delos user.. it’s a truth teller but you are right gives up some points on that real but hard to pin down musicality … ah our quest is endless. My hat is off to anyone where I lose count of the turntables n arms in actual use ! Bravo !
