    Today I talk about the incredible Pure Fidelity Harmony Turntable. I assemble it and then tell you what it sounds like with the Stratos Cartridge that Pure Fidelity makes for it.
    This is an heirloom quality table, and one that will last you a lifetime and then some. If you are ready for your last table, take a look at this!
    Enjoy!

    Love that you are reviewing turntables now. DACs are great but I feel like TTs are just more interesting to look at and hear about given their hands on nature and tactile form.

    Did I miss the part where the as tested price is mentioned? I only heard the price of the cartridge , and only if it were a separate purchase. While I enjoyed going through the product, without a dollar amount it is hard to conceptualize the value of the merchandise. I do tend to favor a jeweled bearing, although my own particular forever turntable uses a recirculating oil bath platter bearing. Platter bearings are so critically important to the sound , yet are sometimes overlooked because they are hidden away and not flashy ,

  • @mostirreverent
    @mostirreverent ปีที่แล้ว +6

    If an aluminum platter rings why are use an aluminum base?
    Also, I don’t understand why expensive turntables don’t come with a lifting mechanism at the end of the record. I know you can buy them, but it would be nice to have it as part of the table, done by the manufacturer.

    Gorgeous turntable.
    Great review.
    I have recently taken stewardship of an hierloom quality table: a circa 1982 Win Labs SDC-10 with Souther Linear SLA-3 linear tracking tonearm.
    It was so far beyond my Rega P6/Ania that my wife insisted we keep the Win.
    I love the look of your new heirloom table. Stunning design, and fantastic sound, based on your sense of things.
    Enjoy!!!!!

    Audio eye candy.... stunning. If the Universe has a financial windfall coming my way this turntable
    is first in the door. You mentioned the Moody Blues... interesting. Got to meet them, Hayward was/is
    just a lovely person. Anyways, I have 11 of their early (70s/early 80s) albums. Bought them in England.
    9 for sure never been played... all in absolute mint condition with a wee bit of wear on the sleeves.
    No plastic because English record shops did not sell albums with any plastic. Love to sell them but
    no idea how that works. Perhaps this is inappropriate .. if so, sorry.

    It's a beautiful object but I think that at this price level, we have a choice, if only at the level of the arm. I have a Rega RP8, and I find that it has an unbeatable SQ/price ratio. It's always the same, in Hifi, to have a little better, you have to spend a lot, a lot more, at least three times the price of my RP8, which I will never do, I need my car too much. it makes you dream, like a Leica Monochrom, so I'm content with my M7 which is going very well.

  • @philstevens9914

    I run 2 tonearms on my Hans turntable. One is Origin Live and the other SME V. I use SoundSmith cart on my SME. I've owned Rega/Clear Audio and other but this set up I now have is hard to beat with the SME / SoundSmith combination.

    Goldman used to make a methacrylate platter mat and matching record weight. I have been using them with my SOTA Sapphire Turntable for over 30 years and my vinyl records sound incredibly musical with my Graham arm and Lyra cartridge.

    I’ve been following this turntable for about a year now. I’m presently the owner of a VPI Prime. I’m seriously interested and intrigued by the Harmony’s isolation claims. Also curious if it’s a significant jump in sonics vs the Prime, given its jump in price. Thanks for the review!

  • @stimpy1226
    @stimpy1226 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    Shouldn't the VTA be measured with the arm leveled when a record is placed on the platter?

  • @MrJasonMeans
    @MrJasonMeans ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I just picked up the harmony table and tonearm you have last fall (with a Kiseki PH) and I was blown away! I had a clearaudio concept, and always had vibration feedback from my subs, and while it’s a nice turntable I was just amazed how much they isolation plate improves the quality, like lowers the sound floor?
    It is for sure the heart of my system…but unfortunately exposed other weaknesses in my other equipment :-/ does it ever end

    We acquired our Pro-ject RPM 10 Carbon WITH a package that included the Sumiko Blackbird HO cartridge. At the time it had an MSRP of $3,500. Now the same table, with the Sumiko Starling, retails for $6,500! Imagine my surprise only because we are in the process of evaluating items for insurance at full replacement value. We would not entertain the purchase of this wonderful table at the current price. I simply do not understand the rationale for the price increase. Parts cost? I will be entering daily for the Pure Fidelity MC cart giveaway!

    LOL
    "No vibration getting to the needle":
    No way does the base eliminate airborne vibrations that obviously effect the stylus nor can any base eliminate skipping from imperfections on the vinyl.

    • @saint6563
      @saint6563 ปีที่แล้ว

      Correct way to state the benefit of a heavy base would be the weight can aid in lessening vibrations from below the table interfering with playback.
      All the best.

    • @MrJasonMeans
      @MrJasonMeans ปีที่แล้ว

      I don’t know about the vibration in the needle, but I had big vibration feedback from my subs and low frequency filters did not help. I tried it all…suspending the turntable, fastening to wall, isolating block of wood…
      This turntable with the base fixed it all. :-)

      Really small room and a JL 10” Fathom

      Ha that’s funny. There are many, many different grades of aluminum and metals that affect how they are cut, welded, molded and used for all types of industries.
      Typical end use applications of Aluminum Grades:
      Alloy 1100 - Metal Spinning and General Fabrication
      Alloy 2011 - General Machining
      Alloy 2024 - Aerospace Applications
      Alloy 3003 - Food & Chemical Equipment - General Fabrication
      Alloy 5052 - Marine Applications - General Fabrication
      Alloy 6061 - Structural Applications - General Fabrication
      Alloy 6063 - Architectural Applications
      Alloy 7075 - Aerospace Applications
