Description

Here is a cook-off between two turntables, both bearing the identical cartridge (the Lyra Helikon SL).

One turntable is the Linn Sondek LP12 with Naim Armageddon PS, the Naim Aro tonearm, the Naim Prefix K phono stage that is powered by a dedicated Naim Supercap supply. The outputs of the Naim NAC552 preamp was inputted into a Yamaha CD-recorder.

The other turntable is a well built but budget model that has undergone several mods. This was used with its own S-shaped tonearm. The phono stage was a $15,000 custom designed tube model using premium parts (Lundahl amorphous core step up transformer, RIAA stage made with selected within 1% tantalum resistors and phenolic capacitors, with Cardas caps in subsequent signal paths. Its power supply is based around a massive 850 VA transformer with secondaries running at 550V. The main filter caps are oil-filled electrolytics bypassed with Cardas caps. Additional gain was done with a pair of NOS 6SN7. All internal signal wiring was Cardas.

Erratum...it appears that both of the 'Where Do You Think You Are Going' were from the same source...but all the other comparisons are truly with two different tables.

The question is....does a then top spec Naimed LP12 handily destroy a budget turntable with a phono stage that is considerably more expensive than the 'cheaper' Naim PrefixK/Supercap?

Both systems were used with balanced power supplied by a 300 lb Equitech wall model.

One table has the 'A' designation in the track names, while the other is designated 'B'. The levels are not necessarily the same (different gain from the phono stages etc), so some level matching should be at least attempted, although the sonic differences extend considerably beyond mere levels.
