Brinkmann Audio LaGrange 10.5 / Emt / Phono stage

For sale: Brinkmann Lagrange turntable with Brinkmann 10.5 tonearm and Brinkmann EMT cartridge
Also includes Townshend seismic sink stand (will throw in a pair of matching Townshend speaker stands too)
Accompanied by PS Audio GCPH photo stage (Cullen modified) - Cullen was the original designer of the stock GCPH and produced much more expensive hot-rodded versions on the side. Big step up from the standard model which was already a what hi-fi 5* award winner (FWIW). It takes standard phono and earth connectors to operate in balanced mode internally with either single ended or balanced outputs. It has a volume control and very high quality output stage that will drive a power amp or active crossover direct (I did the latter). It strongly favours balanced systems and works well into Bryston power amps.
I will also include a custom made and very high quality balanced switch to allow you to swap between another balanced and volume controlled source like a dac which will allow you to do without a pre-amp altogether if you so desire. This gives a big step up in performance. Direct to my active crossovers the GCPH easily outperformed a TEAD groove / vibe combination which is a very serious set-up.
Ancillaries include an audio technica stylus cleaner, a complete set of wally tools and a Racal dana frequency meter with some test records that will allow to set the deck speed to around about 1-2 Hz or so. Photos on request. Based in Eastbourne, UK.
