The Goldmund Studio is "The Classic Turntable" Design.
and not The (far inferior) Linn Sondek LP-12, which is just a few years older.
Caveat: The Studio is as deep as it is wide, and doesn’t fit on standard shelves.
Clarification- The earlier Goldmund Studio models, with their metacrylic platter and subchassis, but with wood bases, are still superior to the Class C tables below, but the sonic differences are not as pronounced; rate them Class B/C.
Repair Issues- I've been recently informed that Goldmund can no longer provide the direct-drive motors for these turntables if and when they need to be replaced. Any verification of this bad news would be appreciated. Even better would be some information on how to find a (direct) replacement motor.
More Recently- A reader informed me that he knew a couple of people who may be able to help Goldmund owners having mechanical problems with their turntables/tonearms. I'm not posting their identities, but an interested reader can e-mail this site for contact information. (4/04)
However, really early Goldmund models have a potential problem that can not be repaired. This is from the Goldmund website:
"Our early production of the Goldmund Studio and Studietto turntables used a motor made by Pabst in Germany which was discontinued in the early 80s by its manufacturer without service possibilities. We changed the motor for a JVC one which we still have in stock for service. Any turntable using the early motor will be unusable when the motor stop working and we have no way to help, the original manufacturer not providing even spare parts. The Pabst motor is easily recognizable being in one part, with very thin loose wire connecting it to the front panel of the turntable. On the contrary, the JVC motor was made in two separate parts, motor and electronic board, was covered, under the suspended top plate of the turntable by a thin molded plastic black cover and attached to the front panel by a flat cable. We strongly encourage all buyers to not buy the Pabst version since the motor are now 20 years old minimum and cannot be repaired."
Det er ikke opløftende læsning men tilsyneladende kan man kontakte denne site, for kontakt til nogen som kan hjælpe.
