I first became aware of the Amadeus 1 year ago. The distributor sent me one for evaluation. I had never used a Well Tempered product before, so, I was “stunned” by the natural and musical way it portrayed all styles of music.
It’s an unusual design from it’s zero tolerance bearing to the 10.5 inch sand filled tonearm that uses a golf ball immersed in a fluid bath of silicone. If you have set up tables before it is a snap.
The first thing I noticed was it’s agile and well defined deep bass. I just was not expecting a turntable at this price to preform like this. Music exploded out of the “grooves”. The other very distinct audible quality was how quiet it is in the record groove.
My favorite cartridges for the Amadeus are the EMT-TSD15, and the Dynavector XX2. Both of these cartridges have amazing synergy with the table.
The bottom line is that you won’t find a more musical table any where near it’s price point of $2850.00. Come on by and check it out!!
