Not sure what the hell that was but it sure looked like there was a lot of wow and flutter on the close-up of the cartridge/tonearm on the LP. That thing needs an outer ring or a vacuum suction to flatten out that LP

Looked really cool though

By the looks of the gear he has in there (top of the line Jeff Rowland, Ayre, and Wavestream, not to mention that what seemed to me to be a custom tt with a 12" tonearm) that his cable business must be doing quite well

Thx for the video link.

For me, I really like the looks of the Basis turntables and their top of the line Inspiration tt is especially nice:



Here's a video of A.J.Conti (founder and chief muckety muck at Basis Audio) presenting the attention to detail and tight tolerances that he has for exact measurement in machining the parts for the Inspiration turntable (in this case the platter). The presentation is at Overture Audio:

I know that Ray (Arcici) Shab was the US distributor at one time.

My bad, I should have read ALL the posts (I only missed post #19 and #21);
the guy I was referring to was George Cardas.

Very nice! I think I still prefer the Shindo 301 aesthetically but this one is really close.
