If I were ever going to get a turntable, this one would be on the top of the list.

Ivan.......Agreed. I have lusted after this turntable since I first saw it. When my vinyl collection exceeded 1200 albums I would have been more incline to justify the expense, but with a vinyl collection that is now down to just over 100 albums, it is difficult to convince myself to spend $12K, plus another $3500 for an ultra high-end cartridge to spin such a small collection of records. Still, this is the turntable for me.

Yeah .... So I always hope .... "the sun shine bright"! Its S$15k for this. Anyway, for now, I am happy with the the lower, humble model I got (demo unit) TD2030 not too bad.

But having seen this thing on the shelf, its really a beauty. :thumbsup:
