Interesting cartridge install. I doubt that is optimal.

Call me a cynic but I always raise an eyebrow when a seller promotes rare or in this case ultra rare as a positive attribute.

Occasionally it might be but in the majority of cases it's a commercial item that for all sorts of reasons has failed to find buyers.

I cannot recall much about Richards TT but the price the seller is asking taking into account the above and it's poor condition is to me crazy.

Let's see what others think
Modified Airlink BPS 3110S with LDA DC filter
TTs, Kenwood KD 8030 with AT OC9XSH, Opera Consonance Wax Engine mk2 with modified Apheta 2 MC cart, PT TOO awaiting restoration.
LDA MCJ3 phono,Schiit Freya plus pre amp, NAD M23, Audiolab 9000 CD transport, Denafrips Pontus 2 DAC, Mano Ultra2 streamer, Cisco switch, Audio Technica ATH 70 cans, Serhan Swift Mu2 mk2 speakers & NSNO W48.5 speaker cables

Belts might be for keeping your trousers up but when you're trying to introduce a new turntable into a market where your competitors are all belt driven and direct drives are predominately cheap and nasty it was a commercial decision which he didn't particularly like.

I can recall him posting that he used an LP12 at a demonstration for the same reason. He hated it.

RD's own comments about this TT:

Like lots of things I built them for myself because I had an idea how to make it. I knew it wouldn't be commercial because the industry back then was controlled by Linn, but to use the colloquial it pissed on a Linn. It was based on the geometry of the Manticore Mantra because Doug Hewitt had his workshop just a couple of miles away from me at that time, and we sort of became friends. Belt was Thorens same as Manticore. Platter, bearing, motor, mat, same as Manticore as my idea was purely to do with construction and suspension. Somewhere between 10 and 20 were made. This was the mk2 version, I still think the mk1 was better but more difficult to build. There is a thread about the mk1 back in the archive somewhere.

This was a mk1 and only about 5 of these were built. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SUPERB-RARE-N ... 1c3136c82d

The stand was part of the turntable.

No I wont make another turntable
