Because it's original Shure, comes from a time from before they moved production to Mexico, was made in the good ol' USA so must be better than anything from Japan
who knows ...

Target and Apollo use pretty much the same design. I have a Target one and it works beautifully, I just wasn't sure how available they were in US / Canada.
Good question about the wires. On my Logic / Thorens decks which are suspended subchassis types the arm cabling has to be carefully placed or it can interfere with the suspension but on a solid plinth like your Technics it's not going to make that much difference.
It's a good idea to move the turntable as far from the other equipment especially speakers, as cables allow because it can also pick up RF interference. But you should keep the phono stage as close to the turntable as possible because the signal from the cartridge is so small that using long cables can diminish it. So there is a use for the 2nd shelf !
Having to organise your room around your Hi-Fi is the way it goes with analogue I'm afraid.

Does audio advisor ship to Canada? For some reason you can choose a country for estimating the shipping but from the looks of their FAQ it's US only. Has anyone test Target vs Apollo wall mounts? It seems I can get a double shelf from Target for the same price as the Apollo single shelf although I'm not sure what I would do with the second shelf anyways. Out of curiousity, wouldn't the wires that connect the turntable output to the amp physically transmit any vibrations via the non-isolated amp? Or am I just being silly now? |
