These do not come up for sale very often: T+A G2000R with built-in extremely sophisticated MM/MC phono stage, T+A tonearm (an improved variant of the Clearaudio Satisfy MC), and an Ortofon MC Quintet Black S with about 500 hours.
Also includes plexiglas cover, record weight and horsehair record cleaning brush. A screaming deal for a complete TT system built on high-end German perfectionist engineering that creates a superbly precise and elegant vinyl playback solution – it's as though Audi completely rethought the Linn LP12.
Retail is $10,000. Asking $4850.
Turntable itself is about 2 years old; rating 8/10 conservatively. Flawless operation and no notable scuffs or scratches. I am the original owner. Paypal fee included. I am a longtime member of USAudiomart and Audiogon (username: transience on both) with extensive 100% feedback throughout and take pride in providing transparent, dependable service to fellow hifi enthusiasts and music lovers.
To avoid shipping a turntable, local pickup or delivery within 1 hour of NYC is available and preferred.
UNIVERSAL RAVE REVIEWS
"This spaciousness added a superb concert-hall feel to classical material in particular.... Arguably, T+A’s well-engineered drive setup and intelligent motor control system made its presence most keenly felt at the low end of
the spectrum. In short, its exemplary bass performance ensured the lowest bass notes were handled with confidence and weight – kick drums had gloriously solid impact and precise timing.

Do the components of the R series from T + A have what it takes to be the ideal system? Absolutely! On the heels of their big siblings in terms of sound, the PA 2500 R, MP 2000 R and G 2000 R easily play at eye level with most expensive high-end components, but save the owner their usual sensitivities. They just run. Finally peace for music."

While the turntable, as an exquisite source, provides the musical nibbles and thereby proves its high class in bringing the finest details out of the depths of the grooves, the potent PA 2500 R integrated amplifier serves as a kind of instantaneous water heater. He prepares the music and enriches it profitably with incredible power and authority."

"Absolutely smooth-running, bass-proof, with a large soundstage and surprisingly powerful playing, the G 2000 R proves to be a wolf in aluminum sheepskin. In terms of tonearm, there is no need for an update."

With the MP 2000 R multiplayer and the PA 2000 R amplifier from T + A, you have a factually designed duo that is simply fantastic in terms of sound, has many functions and is extremely comfortable. The G 2000 R record player complements both perfectly."
