Elac Miracord 46 Manual Treadmill
Elac Miracord 46 Manual Treadmill Reviews
Hi,A mate found one of these in hard rubbish that looks to be in reasonable condition.The Elac speakers seem to be well regarded, are the TT's as respected?Does anyone know anything about this specific model?ThanksBack in the 1970s, there was Elac and Dual. These were the heavy hitters in the auto turntables from Germany. I owned a Dual 1218 and a mate owned the Elac Miracord 660. We fitted them with the same cartridge (Shure M93ED). After careful alignment, we compared the two turntables using the Shure test record.

Rumble and isolation was pretty much the same for both turntables (excellent). HOWEVER, the trackability of the Dual far exceeded the ability of the Elac. The tone arm on the Elac was far too heavy. That said, the Shure test record was a pretty tough test for any turntable and, for the price you paid, the Elac is a bit of a bargain. It was, in it's day, a decent turntable.
Good, heavy platter, reasonable tone arm and should run for decades, after a good lube and service.

Lovely silver magnet dust covers don’t show up well in photos. Sound wonderful, have never disappointed me once. Not particularly hard to drive. Was using a Marantz PM8006. Famous Jet Tweeters. Beautiful looking speakers in my opinion.Prefer pickup, but send anywhere at buyers expense.The stands are Dynaudio’s but suit them very well.
Not to be confused with the smaller (but very capable) 243.3s. I don’t want to separate them ideally.Photos: Advertisements without photos of the actual item will not be approved.

Does anyone out there have advice for a newby to the vinyl school trying to find that sound I had in the early eighties from a Luxman system with Yamaha NS690 III speakers. They are monitors and I still have them although one of the mid range and possibly a tweeter has been blown. I have thought about having them repaired (as I can get the parts), but I am considering if there is something out there comparable.
I have a pair of ELAC 2.0 5.2 bookshelf speakers and they are OK. I have been pretty happy with them but I miss the clarity I recall from the Yamaha's. I have tested the ELAC's on a few of my 'test' tracks like Elton John's Song for Guy and Fleetwood Mac's Landslide and they sound nothing like the clarity of the Yamaha's. Is it the fact that the Yamaha's are considered monitors?
They are as sharp as a tack which may not suit a lot of people but I do love the clarity which I have been unable to get from the ELAC's even through an Ortofon Quintet Blue on my MMF7.1 turntable. And what about the 2 way / 3 way difference in modern speakers - does that mean less clarity or is it just a tech advancement that means we get more from mid range now. So confused atm.
