Lots of interest in the Systemdek - I didn't notice it had a concave
platter, oh dear.

The concave platter is no problem (I have one of these). What it means
is that even fairly badly buckled records flatten out nicely when you
put the clamp on. Very nice deck.

Yes, but I haven't got the clamp to go with it unfortunately.

I have to say I'm not that impressed - it's simply (to my eye) a beefed
up IIX. No bad thing, but I wasn't able to get the openness/focus I've
experienced with the Project RPM9 or a Pink Triangle LPT for example,
and the bouncy suspension got on my nerves. Sales pitch over :-)

Rob

Bouncy suspensions are good! Well, not the bouncy bit, perhaps, but
the lowpass frequency of that system is admirably low and it is that
which makes it all a bit floppy. When the deck has a lid though, you
don't see it, so who cares?

No idea what openness and focus mean, I'm afraid; as far as I know
they aren't manageable by record decks - if they are there, they have
been put into the records by the artist.
