This is a photo of me from oh about 2011 or 2012... I'm not exactly sure, but I was very fortunately visiting Ocean Way Recording Studio's Record One facility... Which started out as a private studio designed and created by Ocean Way privately for the late Michael Jackson, and only he and his mentor/producer, Quincy Jones had access to this facility. We were graciously hosted by the then owner and CEO of Ocean Way Recording, Allen Sides, the tall gentleman standing at the extreme right of this photo. After MJ passed away, Ocean Way bought back this state of art recording facility from Michael's estate.

Anyways, to keep a long story short, I wish to draw attention to the gentleman at the left of this photo, my mentor and friend, Hideaki Nishikawa, today I was informed, he sadly passed away a couple days ago, and the news hit me rather hard.
Nishikawa San was the designer/creator of the iconic Micro Seiki 8000 and 5000 turntables, and also more recently, the man behind the unapologetically standards busting super turntables from his firm, Techdas. Namely the AirForce 0, 1, 3, & 5 turntables that are very highly prized and sought after by turntables enthusiast and users.
Rest in peace, old friend and master mentor!

I feel I'd like to talk about a pair of somewhat neglected Thorens bread & butter models turntables, namely the entry TD201 and TD202. First to get the first basic out of the way, the the TD201 retails for €449/- (SG$728), and the TD202 sells at €599- (SG$938), this pit them up against the redoubtable entry Rega P1 & P2...
So how does this pair stack up against such strong competition? Actually not too badly... Both models share a very rigid cast aluminum alloy platter, and are belt driven by very quiet hum free 12v DC motor with highly accurate electronic speed regulation.
The main difference between the two are the thickness of the plinth, the TD201 has a 25mm thick (1") plinth in high gloss black or white coating, while the TD202 is built around a massive 50mm thick (2") solid plinth also in high gloss black/white and additionally Rosewood trim as well.
Both models also share a very competent TP-71 tone-arm, that has removable headshells to allow for quick cartridge swopping, and unlike Rega, it has a magnetic compensation anti-skate control to ensure best possible tracking of the stylus.
Both models also come with built in Phono Riaa Eq to get all owners started on playing records directly in amplifiers or active powered speakers that don't have phono equalization inside. I'd be the first to point out this built in phonostage isn't anywhere close to audiophile sound quality, merely rather decent to get started on. What is truly useful with this built in phonostage is the fact it is also equipped with Analog to Digital converter to allow ripping your treasured out of print LP records into your computer via the USB output!
At this point, let's talk about sound quality... I've read a couple reviews that weren't too kind to this pair of turntables, and frankly with strong and very highly marketed products such as Project and Rega, Thorens comparatively low key marketing puts their products under the shadows of these market giants! Can it really be as bad as the reviewer's mentioned... It is my responsibility as a Thorens dealer to find out myself...
First off, the TD201 comes bundled with the common and ubiquitous AT 3600/91 cartridge, (same as the Rega P1 bundled Rega Carbon), the sound was ok but nothing impressive... Then again I'm not impressed by Project Debuts or Rega P1s myself... So I tried better cartridges, first up the Nagoaka MP110, a well loved and respected cartridge at SG$200. I didn't liked it at all, so next I tried the ever popular Ortofon 2M Red (another SG$200 cartridge) it was much better, the sound got richer and coherent, so okay I can now listen to it without thinking I'm listening to an entry level player.
Yet I wanted to investigate further to see if I wasn't missing something, but also more importantly not to succumb to trying on an even more expensive cartridge! So I took another look around my humble workshop, and finally I spied upon a hardly used AT VM520EB cartridge, this retails at SG$160... After installing it to the demo TD201, VROOM! This cartridge combo into the entry TD201 had it all! Details, sound stage, tonal richness, and foot tapping excitement... All there!
I patched in my heavily modded Rega P3 + Ania MC cartridge set up and sure that is slightly better, but now the SG$720/- entry Thorens model + a modest $160 cartridge was within striking distance of the industry yardstick mighty Rega P3 + lots of mods even!
So sometimes when certain reviewers testing an entry level product dismisses it because they didn't look hard enough, we shouldn't simply accept their reviews as true dogma and dismiss what could be a very fine product indeed.
Do drop me a call (+65 91154962) if you're interested to listen to the modestly priced TD201 or TD202.

03/09/2021

About a decade ago, I was for a brief period of time the distributor of a wonderful brand of loudspeakers known as AudioMachina. They made a range of compact 2 way stand mounted speakers... They were handmade in USA by president of AudioMachina, Dr Karl Schuemann, a doctor who took own over his family mechanical machining company, and made it into a manufacturer of high-end, high performance loudspeakers. The amazing thing about AudioMachina speakers was that the cabinets were machined out of solid aircraft grade metal alloy billet into two solid halves and then bolted together like the legendary Rolex Oyster case! It wasn't because Dr Schuemann wanted to make his speakers waterproof😂 but it was the simplest (let me stress Not the Easiest!) and most elegant method to produce a highly damped and virtually indestructible speakers cabinet. Certainly it was a very expensive method. The smallest model he made was the CRM 5.25" 2 ways compact speakers which was priced at US$6000/- in 2011. It had the then state of art Scan Speak 5.25" Revelator woofer capable of hitting as low as 38Hz (still a record) for a woofer of this small size, and a horn waveguide 1" silk dome. The tweeter was physically time aligned with the woofer and crossover by a ultra linear 1st order crossover. The aforementioned solid metal cabinet wasn't ported, but sealed and acoustically suspended at the critically damped 0.707 system Q. The bass wasn't very deep at about 60hz -3dB, but the CRM sounded as good as any compact acoustic suspension speakers I've ever heard.
It was so good that owners of these speakers and dealers such as myself wondered what if they had more bass?
So eventually the good Dr Karl made the matching CRS bass extenders (Not subwoofers) for the wonderful CRMs... It had the Peerless 10" XXL subwoofer cone powered by a 500w internal amp and worked from 120Hz down to lower than 40Hz in typical rooms. Usually this 10" subwoofer transducer could hit as low as 25Hz, but as usual Dr Karl made limited it to just under 40Hz for improved resolution and performance headroom. Unfortunately the CRS bass extenders sold for an astounding US$9,000)- each! There was also a dedicated welded steel stands to combine the compact monitor and the bass extender into a 1.2m tall 3 way semi active high-end contender to go up against Wilsons or YG Acoustic speakers of the same time period... Magico was only beginning to arrive in 2011.
In any case my earlier business ceased around 2013, and I had before then sold off all my stocks of the really good sounding CRM compact monitors, but was stuck with 2 pairs of the crazy expensive CRS bass extenders...
Fast forward to 2017 I started this present BlackGold Analog business and was fortunate enough to begin representation for Jern loudspeakers of Denmark. I've posted about these amazing speakers here in the past, recently I had the opportunity of adapting the most affordable Jern W8000 wall mount speakers to the AudioMachina custom stands mounted with the CRS bass extenders... For the first time in a decade, I was able to finally resurrect usage of these bass extenders... Except this time, the main speakers is a highly cost effective SG$1,280/- pair all cast iron Jern W8000! As these speakers are designed and built similarly to the long discontinued AudioMachina CRM speakers, the affordable W8000 matched so well with the costly CRS that they sounded seemless like a single 1.2m tall floor standing speakers!
Why had I written a long post about this experience? Basically I'm writing to say it is very possible to take a modest pair of wall mount architecture life style speakers and discreetly match them very well so we can get far larger sounding results... It is of course not necessarily need for expensive subwoofers, but almost identical results possible with affordable active woofers such as Rel T5 series. Jern sealed acoustic suspension design is actually key to easy match with almost any subwoofers designed for stereo music performance rather than home theater room shaking subs!
Do go to Jern speakers website to read all the various reviews and you will be surprised to discover affordable all cast iron cabinet speakers that perform as well as far more expensive speakers to provide with the most musical, and biggest bang for your hard earned bucks!

03/09/2021

This week I received a new and very exciting press release from Thorens announcing the forthcoming TD1500 turntable inspired by their historic TD150 from 1965! I'm sure over the next days, in various Thorens, online audio press, and turntables forums, you will begin to see the press release, so I won't attach it to my post.
I will say what I feel are the important new features of this important turntable...

1. From the attached image, the first thing to capture attention is the new TP150 tone-arm! When the original TD150 was released, the current Thorens made tone-arm prior to 1965 was the Thorens BDT-12S tone arm of 1961, it later spawned the Thorens TP14 arm for the TD150, and also when Thorens was briefly merged with EMT turntables, the highly priced and respected EMT-929/997!
With Thorens' recent re-introduction of the high-end TD 124DD turntable and the dedicated TP124 arm, many were quick to say Thorens copied EMT... but actually the original IP belonged to Thorens and people who accused Thorens of not making good arms from the late 1960s - 1990s, and users opting for installing SMEs to those vintage Thorens can't be more wrong.
Thorens did make excellent arms, and the short lived TP14 was proof indeed, because less than a year after Thorens introduced the TD150 + TP14 turntable, they felt the TP14 was too expensive and to keep the TD150 affordable, so they introduced the severely cut down TP13 arm to keep prices competitive.
The cheaply made TP13 arm was what gave Thorens their reputation of poorly made arms :(
Well 56 years after the TP14 arm, Thorens finally put things right with the new TP150 arm, spritual successor to the rare BDT12S & TP14, and now with modern precision manufacturing process, a better performer!
All the important adjustments for VTA and azimuth are available, as well as the fact the head-shell mounting is now standard SME/universal mounting. The effective mass of this TP150 is 14gm (with standard Thorens head-shell), so a clear signal this arm is designed for most of today's modern high performance MC & MM cartridges.

2. Phew! that is a lot to talk about the new arm, the overall spring suspension sub-chassis design of the TD1500 is inspired by the recent highly successful TP1600/1 series turntables, and carries the 56 years old tradition of spring suspended Thorens turntables, now with easily accessible springs leveling and rate adjustment through the platter access holes. A brand new and somewhat lighter 1.4Kg 22mm thick cast aluminum alloy platter compared to the 4 Kg platter assembly of the TD1600/1 series.
Instead of the somewhat traditional A/C synchronous motor of the TD 1600/1 series as well as various vintage turntables, the new TD1500 deploys a newly developed electronically encoder controlled D/C motor with an external 12v power-supply, this will allow for very easy 12v D/C power-supply upgrades in future!

3. A few final points, as with usual of long Thorens traditional of 'unbox & play' practice, the TD1500 ships with the highly regarded Ortofon 2M-Bronze MM cartridge that many users usually upgrade to, so straight out of the box, there is no need to consider cartridge upgrades, just set the 1.5gm tracking force, antiskate and start playing!
TD1500 are available in high-gloss piano black or high-gloss walnut finished plinth identical to the TD1600/1 series turntables, also identical to it's big brother, is the availability of both single ended RCA as well as true balanced XLR connections! If your phono inputs are balanced XLRs, the TD1500 takes over from the TD1600/1 series as the most affordable high-performance turntable so equipped with XLR outputs!

The forthcoming TD1500 is listed at Euro 1,999/-, I won't exactly comment on the Sg$ value presently until we get confirmation of stocks, and landed cost of shipment, this latter factor has recently made import of goods a difficult issue for all traders. I do welcome pre-orders enquiry from all friends and customers here in Singapore, and look forward here to all your potential interest and questions for this exciting new turntable.

11/07/2021

I'm smiling as I write these words today... I just found a little secret about the ever popular Rega philosophy of designing and making turntables! As most regular visitors to my little page here knows, I'm a lifelong proponent of sprung sub-chassis type turntables.
Obviously I put my money where my mouth is, having collected over the years all sorts of sprung sub-chassis turntables, AR The turntable, Logic 101, a few Dunlop Systemdek, Sota Comet SG3, Walker CJ55, Michell Gyrodec, and of course a whole bunch of Thorens of various vintages. I even prefer the dastardly Linn LP12 over non suspended turntables!
Do I own and used non suspension turntables? Sure I do, I had one of those idler driven 1st gen Garrard 401 just to experience what all the fuss was about, and yes I do get it, the immediacy, presence and dynamic liviness could be very exciting and certainly unique to Garrard.
As an equipment dealer, I'm first and foremost a gocal Thorens supporter, but for the continued health of my little business, I'm also a secondary Rega dealer, and therefore owned one of their ubiquitous Planar3 + TT-PSU turntable combo... I even had the pleasure of participating one of Rega's dealers training factory visits slightly over a decade ago. So yes, I'm well versed with their turntable design philosophy indeed.
Basically, Rega turntables embrace low mass/ low energy storage concept with overall mechanical simplicity but high precision to achieve their goals of class leading cost vs performance ratio. This makes Rega Research ensemble of products one of the best value in today's audio hobbyist context.
As my Rega P3 turntable was meant to be a dealers demo unit, I had also kept everything on it stock in case I had to use it for demo duty, but in recent times, I found my Rega clientele to be of the higher end persuasion, so my poor Rega P3 turntable was left on the display shelf forlorn and forgotten... 🥲
Just because I'm an equipment dealer doesn't mean I take myself too seriously, so as you can see from the photos posted, my Rega P3 received a all metal alloy inner bearing sub-platter hub, the stock stainless steel ball bearing, was switched with a synthetic ruby ball, the standard Rega glass platter replaced by a 15mm thick solid Lexan platter with outer edge stainless steel peripheral weights looking like a Michell Gyrodec platter!
The stock RB330 tone-arm with standard Rega Ely's II mm cartridge too was replaced by an AudioMods modified Chrome plated RB251 arm with silver one length signal cables, and the cartridge is now the Rega Ania MC cartridge, fed into my reference EAR 868 tubed preamp by the late legendary Tim deParavicini. Such an elevated tube preamp is necessary because Rega's MC cartridges tend towards tonal leaness, and this basic Ania especially so, only Rega's own Fono MC works well, but since I'm blessed with this EAR 868, it works even better together.
Finally for the finishing touch, I added springs under the rubber footers and effectively made my humble Rega P3 into a spring suspension turntable! Why add springs? Springs isolated turntables eliminate some environmental vibrations away from the critical record groove and stylus interface point, since it is a microscopic point of contact for high resolution information retrieval, any amount of vibrational reduction helps to preserve performance, I know some will question or reject my preference for spring suspension turntables, and I respect their personal choices of course, some will retort they believe in magnetically levitated isolation systems, while others expound forced air cushion suspension and the vast majority would say no suspension at all, but high mass damping methods, etc. To each their own for sure, and I'm here to speak for spring suspension turntables that offer a sensible compromise of giving record playing turntables a logical and cost effective means of environmental isolation without pricing such products into unrealistic cost of ownership.
Now let's come back to this modestly priced Rega modded with springs? Is there any benefits to the sound? In Rega's book, ' A Vibration measuring machine', they did discuss this subject, but rejected springs suspension as unnecessary complications to their objectives of low mass, low energy storage/or fast dissipation, and mechanical simplicity.
For me I did hear musical benefits of improved signal details and better harmonics decay without increased edginess or hardness that often comes with other means of increased resolution, and that is surely worth the effort of adding a spring suspension system to your Rega! In fact, I was smiling earlier, because I get a distinct feeling this is an important secret Rega doesn't want their turntables customers to know! A suspended Rega is a more compelling record playing turntable than a factory standard fixed footed Rega!
The other caveat is I recognize not every Rega turntable user possess the mechanical (Diy) abilities to add spring suspensions to their turntables properly.
To this end, you may go online to Funk Firm's website and order their 'B***k' spring loaded footers tuned for Rega turntables, and you could be happy you took this step to spring suspend your Rega P1 thru to P10s!
Happy tweaking!

It has been a while since I posted anything here... certainly it's been a rather sad 2020 for the world, and even now weeks into 2021, we're still looking forward with cautious optimism at best.
Today, I'd like to digress from the usual topics of products I carry from Thorens and Jern, etc. I'd like to talk a little on this Dunlop Systemdek IIX-900 turntable.
The Systemdek IIX-900 was in the 1980s - 90s a leading and strong competitor to the more well known Linn LP12.
As many older audiophile know, towards the end of the 1960s, Scottish firm of Ariston (unrelated to the Italian home appliance company bearing the same name) launched a spring suspension turntable copied from the Thorens TD 150, with some structural improvements and sold as the Ariston RD11. Ariston did not own a production factory and the RD 11 turntable was farmed out to another Scottish contract manufacturing company. a certain family member of the contract manufacturer subsequently decided to take the RD11, make a very small change to its design and claim it as a new turntable, for his own start-up company, naming it Linn, and the the new turntable the LP12 (coming after the Ariston RD 11!)
Ariston sued, but fail to convince the courts of injustice... Shortly after Ariston founder Hamish Robertson threw in the towel, and sold Ariston to engineer Peter Dunlop, who subsequently renamed Ariston to Dunlop engineering, and re-designed the Ariston RD 11 into the superior Systemdek II series turntables.
Sometime in the late 80s, the Dunlop Systemdek IIX /900 series was even Hi-Fi Choice turntable of the year, three years in a row, trouncing Linn, Thorens and others!
This was all the more remarkable considering the Systemdek was priced rather competitively against Linn, Michell Gyrodeck, Pink Triangle, etc
Not only was it a musically accomplished turntable, it became one of the first sprung subchassis turntable to feature top access springs adjusters for easy and fast leveling and spring rates adjustments! For the first time, users without special training can DIY the adjustments and not be intimidated by having to remove the base cover and making springs adjustment with raised platform rigs or other special equipments.
Although there was an original Sstemdek tone arm sourced from Jelco, eventually it became popular to pair the Systemdek IIX-900 with the highly regarded Rega RD250/300 tonearms. This proved to be advantageous to both parties! Systemdek got an arm that finally matched synergistically for very high sound performance at a great price, and hobbyist finally got to hear the widely regarded Rega RB tonearms perform on sprung sub-chassis type tuntable!
Although Dunlop discontinued the Systemdek IIX series in the 90s, this highly capable platform is still manufactured and sold by AudioNote as their TT-1, selling at far higher prices than Dunlop ever asked for!
Hence this example of the Systemdek IIX-900 equipped with a modified Chrome plated Rega arm can be a very nice introduction into the world of high-end sprung sub-chassis type turntables for those who're toying with such an idea.
Whomever in Singapore read this and looking for an excellent alternative to the usual Thorens or Linn suspension TTs and seriously consider this turntable as either their main record player, and as secondary turntable when the sprung turntable type sound is the better choice.

23/10/2020

As a long time Thorens dealer, I've had the pleasure of enjoying sales, support, and service of modern Thorens turntables in the past 20 years. I've also been able to collect a few desirable vintage Thorens turntables such as TD 150, TD 160/B/Super, TD 147 Jubilee, TD321, and TD 126 mk III Centanery editions.
Certainly, I've help countless valued customers revive, rebuilt, restore many of their vintage Thorens turntables as well. This leads me to the very often asked question, Is it better to purchase a brand new current Thorens model, or to buy an old vintage Thorens to restore? Which one will offer better value, and sound performance?
I do actively participate and visit various turntables forums, and the prevalent views is it would certainly be preferable to buy classic 1960s,70s, 80s era Thorens turntables due to the far cheaper price, with the potential of such classic turntables to favorably go head to head with modern Thorens and other brands turntable!
Is this true or not?
Well most of the time, as with any issue in the world of high-end fine audio hobby, the answer is not so simple...
The first thing is of course, how well kept and maintained is the classic turntable you wish to buy? Anything that is 60, 50, 40, years old can be found in both extremes of good or poor condition.
Recently I was offered a TD124 with SME 3009-12" arm combo! To collectors, this is a holy grail combination! However when I rushed over to the owner's home, I came away very disappointed... The entire unit looked like it was kept in the exposed back yard of his home, and oxidation and corrosion everywhere, nothing was worth for salvation... It also break my heart to see a venerable TD 124 mk I in such poor shape.
The very popular TD 160 series turntables are not without common faults themselves... bent motor spindle is common, misaligned worn out 33/45 clutch arm is a problem, and of course dried up capacitor and degraded resistors in the motor smoothing circuit requires replacement very often. However all these issues can be fixed, and all can be done at realistic service budgets, keeping the premise of getting a classic turntable competitive with far more expensive modern turntables.
However due to the strong and steady revival of LP records collection and usage by hobbyist, the prices of vintage Thorens and other brands vintage turntables have been climbing steadily in the past decade or so... In the late 1990s, it was still possible to buy reasonable condition TD 160s at about US$200 - 400. Today, TD 160s in marginal condition will at very least fetch over US500 - 800!
Another question is tone arms for vintage TD 160s, the stock Thorens TP16 vintage arm is actually pretty good, however many hobbyist will replace it with the classic SME 3009 and 3009 II arms, however I find such SMEs very commonly afflicted with worn out bearings, in which case it could be better adviced to keep the modest stock TP16 arm! Many sellers will ask for about US700 or more for the SME 3009 arms and inexperienced buyers can invariably end up with worn out SME arms!
I would prefer to replace TP 16 arms with Grace 707, or 545 arms due to their longer-lasting design and construction over SME 3009s!
I also like Jelco 350, 550, 750, 850 series arms as modern replacement for TP16s, it is a great pity Jelco had fallen victim to the 2020 pandemic and is now out of business... Though many dealers world wide are still clearing stocks of new made Jelco arms... This will of course dry out and Jelco arms will also take its place as collectible tone arms!
The current Thorens TP 92, and 82 arms are both very worthy replacement arms for old vintage Thorens turntables and should be well considered.
However my final point is with the recent introduction of the new Thorens TD 1600/1 models, the question to buy old vintage and throwing money into restoration is now greatly blurred.
Buying a vintage Thorens TD 160 at about US$500/- + a new Thorens TP 82 arm at US$500 + the restorer's fee of between US$200 - 400 + various replacement bits & pieces for say anothe US$100 -200, and you're already at a total of about US$1,500 - 1,800.
The new Thorens TD 1600 is listed at US$2,900, complete with the updated TP 92 version tone arm, and superior electronically controlled motor is a turntable sounding much better than any restored TD 160 turntable. Things now become less clear cut and final prices close enough for potential buyers to rethink buying a 35 year old vintage vs getting something all new and ready to serve you and your descendants the next 5 decades or very much much longer!
Regardless how you may decide, do feel free to contact me for getting a new Thorens, or restoring any old Thorens, or even any brands of old spring suspension type turntables, Linn, Ariston, Dunlop Systemdeks, Sota, VPs, etc.

Jern's 14 EH speakers had been around since early 2018. This model may looks like the entry level Jern WP12 model as it shares the same cast iron cabinet.
However the Jern 14 EH speakers currently is positioned as the highest performing Jern speakers.
How so? The first visible clue is the gold coated 20mm dome tweeter.
This is the legendary Hiquphon 3/4" (20mm) dome. It is made by Hiquphon , a company based in Denmark that is uniquely dedicated to the perfecting of the highest performing 3/4" softdome tweeters in the world!
Hiquphon makes a few models of 3/4" dome tweeters all using silk fabric material. They do not make hard metal domes, they do not make any 1" (25.4mm) dome tweeters, they certainly do not make cone woofers of any types whatsoever!
By just dedicating themselves to focus on and solely design and make only 3/4" type soft dome tweeters, Hiquphon had become known today as makers of the world's finest 3/4" tweeters!
What does this mean for the Jern 14 EH speakers?
The Jern 14 EH with the unique tweeter made specifically for Jern by Hiquphon, is one of the world's highest performance compact speakers hands down! When you listen to the 14 EH coupled and optimised with high quality amplifiers and carefully calibrated sub-woofers such as Jern's Foundation 500s or Rel T5s and T7s, you will get a stereo system capable of revealing all the nuance of the recorded material without any impediment to the creation of a solid and convincing 'floating' soundstage of the original musical performance.
You will feel goose-pimples as when you experience an actual live music performance concert!
When you are ready to experience a pair of compact speakers that can take you to whatever live performance you wish to attend, call at +65 91155962 to arrange for the unique performance of the astounding Jern 14 EH.
