Next Time Someone Tells You That, Show Them This—Two Turntables Compared

Описание: Turntable videos inevitably attract trolls who don't think turntables can make much of a difference once they're spinning at the correct speed (never mind that the ear is super-sensitive to micro speed variations). "In a double blind you can't hear differences" type comments are all over the Internet and on this channel, so on this video you will hear two turntables—the OMA K3 and the TechDAS Air Force III Premium both fitted with the SAT CF1-12 tonearm and Lyra Atlas Lambda SL cartridge plugged into the CH Precision P10 phono preamplifier.

The only difference is the turntable.

The music is a 1977 East Wind album sold only in Japan— "The Great Jazz Trio at The Village Vanguard" (EW ST-5307 featuring Hank Jones, Ron Carter and Tony Williams—definitely a great trio—recorded live at The Village Vanguard by the late, great David Baker.

Listen to both versions and first do you hear a difference? If so, which do you prefer? Pay particular attention to the piano sound and the kick drum that Tony Williams precisely hits.

Do you need a double blind test to distinguish between the two? Also note: both set-ups were carefully accomplished: in other words there's more involved than simply moving the arm from one turntable to the other, because of arm mount height. The set ups were identical as were the tracking forces applied so the only difference was the turntable.
