The Fender Sunburst turntable

Hey, if depraved cannibalism is wrong, I don’t wanna be right!

How do you like that turntable Brian?
I have a Pro-Ject Carbon something or another with an Omron Red cartridge.
It is hooked up to my Sonos system and I am wondering if investing up at all will make any real difference.

I have actually met Mr. Shibuya (the one who started the Shibuya filling company who makes beverage filling machines). We bought one of his fillers when I was at Cadbury-Schweppes and were looking at a pilot system for our R&D center now. Very cool and well respected guy.

I own a Shibuya Dx Arrow Plunger!

Semi-common name, and also a ward of Tokyo :slight_smile:

Shibuya Crossing is a pretty famous intersection. Used to watch a show of that title on NHK when my local cable had the channel.

Yep, the Scramble. The new high-rise next to it is actually named Scramble Square. The picture I posted is actually the intersection, looking across it.

It is a fact that in the world of hi fi you can spend any amount you pick.

You want to spend 100? Here are your options. 1000? Fine. 10000? No issues. As much as a small apartment? Sure, why not? A large apartment? Be my guest…

And it works in any currency! EUR, USD, you name it…

Gday John, @John_E ,
I like the Rega, not that I use it very often anymore.
But you gotta have one when you have accumulated vinyl over the years😁
My current sound system comprises the following,
Musical fidelity A5 power amp
Rotel pre amp
Oppo DVD/ CD unit
Krix Neuphonix speakers
If you want to check out the store where I get all my hifi gear from, they are called
“Carlton audio visual”,
they have heaps of cool gear especially if you want to part with big $$$$$
Cheers Brian

Yeah, but the HE-1 is marble with song and dance presentation every time you use it.

I knew I saved that nameplate for a reason.

Anyone want to buy a $2000 Fender turntable?

Don’t be silly. You can charge at least twice that, like the Sunburst.

That was a special price, reserved for the forum!
