Yes. Thank you for the review on what is pretty much the state-of-the-art for turntables.
Think if I had one I might simply watch it as much as I would listen to it.
Most impressive.

Thanks Ivan and YB-2.

It is a sight to see operate. Once I receive my DS Audio 001 ionizer it will be complete. I’ll be able to run a Disco Club then with white, blue, yellow and green lights glowing …

Joe - you will, of course, need one of these:

Thanks for the write-up. Great review.

What do you think are the biggest differences between what you hear with your new AF1 and what you heard with your J.Sikora TT ?

Thanks. The J Sikora was an excellent TT. But a 31k table can’t compete with a 130k table (price with two platters). A comparison isn’t even fair.

But I'm receiving more information from the grooves most likely in part from the vacuum hold down. The bass is more articulate. The mids are absolutely glorious. The sound stage is one of the major differences. I enjoyed the sound stage on the Sikora immensely, but the AF1 is more airy and realistic.

The TechDAS has transformed my system.

That is just amazing. I hope it's not impolite to stare, because I can't take my eyes off that turntable.

Thanks for the review and comparison to the J Sikora. Enjoy the system. I'm jelly.

What would make me jelly would be the installation and alignment of not one, but two of Joe's cartridges. Don't want to 'tweak' one of those cantilevers.

Our DS Audio 001 Ionizer is installed. For those who aren’t familiar with the Ionizer see the two green lights at the rear of TT.

I have a Furutech Destat III and it’s excellent. However, the DS Audio provides continuous ionization … So, the Furutech is being retired. …
