That Robin Wyatt (aka Robyatt) knows how to put on a show is obvious. That he assembles a fine sounding room is also a given. So, when Wyatt enlisted recording/mastering engineer Tom Fine to discuss and play records, representing the work of his parents, Robert Fine and Wilma Cozart Fine, the result was predictable: Standing room only crowds. Hearing Fine discuss and play Janos Starker and other Fine productions was a thrill.
Robin’s analog front-end in the “Democracy” room consisted of a skeletal VPI HW-40 turntable with a 12″ Fatboy tonearm ($15,000) mounted with a Miyajima Infinity Mono ($3350); a second arm—the Schroeder SQ Reference ($9950) —carried a Miyajima Destiny cartridge ($7500). A Schroeder BA Tonearm ($4850),) and Tzar DST cartridge ($10,000) were on passive display. The rest of the system was a Mytek Manhattan II Preamplifier ($6000 base, plus extras), Metal Mat’s CU180 Cirrus Platter Mat ($1375), Butler Monad power amplifiers ($19,000/pair), Electrostatic Solutions Quad 57s ($6000), Finley Audio cables, Wax Rax LP-H Console ($8500), TT-1 Turntable Stand ($7000), and LP-C Record Pedestal ($1650).
