ACOUSTIC SIGNATURE TORNADO NEO (EOI)

Further Information:  EXPRESSION OF INTEREST

Life change and needing funds for a new investment, sadly looking to part with the below (Crazy I know).

I have loved upgrading from a simple $300 project to the below!

If there is genuine interest I will update with significantly improved images of every angle possible, all of the below are in mint condition and original packaging etc.

Looking to sell as a complete unit rather than individual items...

Happy to audition if you are local to Melbourne, it will come with a clear cover for the TT

ACOUSTIC SIGNATURE TORNADO NEO

Modeled on the High End Invictus Turntable, the Tornado Neo offers the best of Acoustic Signature design at a modest price point.

Complete with 4 silencers on the platter that dampen vibrations, capacity to have up to 3 different tonearms and diamond coated spindle on the bearing, this is a serious turntable from a company that's serious about turntables.

You won't find any mention of colouration, bloom or muddiness in descriptions of this turntable. If you're after the fluffy uncontrolled vinyl sounds of the 70s, there are many other options out there. If you want to hear what modern turntable design of the 21st century can do when every detail of the Turntable is examined for its inertia and low resonance properties, you must look at an Acoustic Signature. The result of though-out engineering coupled with an exposed yet beautiful industrial design is a turntable that is sounds devastatingly clear and musical and shows off its engineering prowess with a raw beauty.

ACOUSTIC SIGNATURE TA-2000 NEO TONEARM  (12 INCH SILVER)

This is where the Acoustic Signature Tonearms start to get really really good. We jump up to an anti-skating knob which is capable of much more precise adjustments in anti-skate. And don't underestimate the importance of anti-skate with any reasonable quality cartridge. It can clean up woolyness in the sound. This little feature gets the tonearm to a point where those differences are very noticeable.

The TA-2000 NEO also has better bearings than the TA-500 NEO and the TA-1000 NEO. Acoustic Signature say they are 'almost friction less ball bearings' and they're not ones to over exaggerate.

Van Den Hul Crimson XGW Stradivarius (LESS THAN 100 HOURS ON THE CART)

Van Den Hul's Crimson Stradivarius is a favorite in the CAV Reference System.  The Crimson is the entry model into the Stradivarius reference line of cartridges and the most popular.  The popularity is due partly to the fact that it's the most affordable, but also because it's the easiest to mate with a wide range of gear...bear in mind that the extreme levels of channel separation produced by the Colibri and Colibri Signature require the other equipment in the system to be matched very precisely.

With a body handmade of Hawaiian koa wood triple-coated with a special Stradivarius-type lacquer, the Crimson uses 24-karat gold coils and a cantilever that is solid boron with a VDH Type 1s (2×85-micron) stylus. Our reviewer Andre Jennings found the Crimson XGW Stradivarius to be impartial across most of the frequency spectrum (including the presence range), with large macro-dynamics from the power region on down.
