I’m considering one of these for my TD124. All the images I find only show these used with straight tone arms. Anyone tried one with an s-shaped arm like a SME 3009? Cheers

a lot has happened in the many years since i started this thread - The Well Tempered recently went and I'm running a Thorens TD 124 but i need a small footprint with dust cover TT. I'm thinking Rega 8/10 or LP12

I’ve had 2, an Amadeus GT and a Versalex with the improved arm with arm lift. Sound wise they are incredible, at the same time I also had a Sme 20 with a V tonearm and I preferred the Well tempered. Of the 2 I preferred the Amadeus, sound wise no discernible difference just preferred the ease of...

It’s an sme3009 Mike. Interesting thought ref the ear 834p

thanks for some suggestions - im most tempted by this Brinkmann, hope it will be the end of the phono stage searching

Hi Tiger, im using a Creek Evolution 100a with mine

Hi, after many years living with an amazing system Well tempered/Dynavector/Shahinian for various reasons I'm having to downscale and i'm limited to bookshelf speakers. Im currently sat with: Shahinian Larcs - finally sourced these from a fellow PFM'er Creek Evolution 100a Thorens TD124 with a...

thanks Craig - that will save me trying that route

I still haven't had time to check the strobe but i have changed amps and have a creek evolution 100a with a built in MM phono stage. I can't continue using the Lyra delos with being able to fit a guard so i will give the built in phono stage a try with potentially a 2M black or i am considering...

thanks Craig i will check that - what i have is a light but nothing to look at no movement or sign of strobe disc

Well said TimF

Hi BlueYeti, im no electronics or speaker expert but from my knowledge shahinians from Obelisks upwards are an omni-directional speaker. The Arcs, Larcs and compasses maybe described as pseudo-omnidirectional. Rather than fire the sound forward and have a distinctive sweet spot they spread the...

Hi Mick, I’m running the Larcs with a lesser powered creek destiny but with Shahinian wpc isn’t the key measure from what I read. As for shelf mounting that’s what I have done, stood on end and they are great. Positioning seemed great straight away so not too fussy either.
