Nota Nera / pimp my turntables UK
Nota Nera / pimp my turntables UK Posted on: 05.05.2013 by Dedra Kreinbring Anyone had any experience with either of these 2 companies?Looking for some modded technics. I am not so bothered about the paint etc as I believe lots of them look tacky, but I am interested in upgraded parts and tone arms etc. Any experience anyone? I know Patch has done some himself, but just looking at options and I like warranty. | |

| Dedra Kreinbring 09.05.2013 | Yeah sorry that is who I meant by pimp my turntables. They do nice stuff, but it is crazy expensive! |

| Shan Bauerly 06.05.2013 | Without question. You can go wacko with a REGA. This having been said, they can be a definite value proposition in the Hi-Fi TT market, especially their entry decks. My personal audio-snob deck is a REGA P9 with all the associated unobtanium sub-platters, whale snot bearing oil, heavy brass feet, ridiculous Liquid Audio interconnect cables, tube phono stage, et al. I mean, there's no way I'm playing $$$ records on a Shure White Label. You just can't best an OEM Technics arm. That's why they are all still around. |

| Ilana Andretta 06.05.2013 | Yeap, Patch congrats for the baby. Save some energy cause you are gonna need it later on. |
| Brunilda Kora 05.05.2013 | Thanks! We can't wait! |
| Dedra Kreinbring 05.05.2013 | I had a feeling you might be the first to post but they do sound nice, and I am seriously tempted. The tone arm was actually what I liked about nota nera, as they change them to different tone arms which they deem 'better'. But yeah, they seem to be the only 2 actual companies that do it that I found. Congrats on the baby btw. |
| Brunilda Kora 05.05.2013 | I bought the blue LED's for mine from Pimp My Decks. No issues whatsoever. I paid on ebay, and delivery was prompt. Don't know about Nota Nera, though... But his MKII's are quite pricey. Right now, the Technics mod market is a bit of a cottage industry. Each company is usually just one guy buying and modding, then re-selling. To be honest, I have considered doing it permanently - I could get a website set up easily enough. I'm an aero engineer (precision engineering) and the decks I've modded have been done to the highest standard. BUT (big but, here!) - me and my girlfriend are having a baby in 4 weeks time, and I don't fancy having broken down turntables (and all of the small pieces that comes with them) around the house! So the 4 that I am selling will probably be the only ones I ever sell. Don't forget, any you buy from Nota Nera / pimp my decks will come with the original tonearms. All of mine have brand new, unused tonearms, and tonearm bases. (There was "a mis-hap" at the the powder coaters and they had to buy me 4 new tonearms!!!). Mine also come with pitch trims and graphics. /sales pitch. |
