Absolutely Stunning!!!

Yeah, that's an incredible looking turntable. Love the color scheme as well. I bet that system sounds absolutely stunning. I've always wanted to hear a pair of KEF Muons.

Omg :eek2: I want one. Maybe in my next life.

This turntable doesn't look like my cup of tea and with its built-in phono stage, it's something I wouldn't consider even if it did.

Beautiful but lose the phono stage.

it's interesting the comments on the phono stage, have you heard it yet ?

therefore, predisposed audiophile assumptions ........

Realistically, a built-in phono stage is going to be a turnoff to people working in this strata of vinyl playback. Doesn't mention it being bypassable either. Matching of cartridge to stage is crucial, so the consumer needs the degrees of freedom. Can you imagine someone with a VAC Statement phono looking at this table and thinking "yeah, I'll just ditch the VAC and use this little SS stage instead".

That table itself looks pretty wicked, and the magnetic drive is interesting.

Agreed, at this price point you need wide open flexibility.
