One thing that interests me is why they decided to go with the MDF sandwich over the acrylic sandwich plinth on the higher end models. At this price point...

I like Mark Levinson gear. They have had a unique place in the audio market from their conception, but I don't think I would be inclined to purchase a Mark Levinson turntable any quicker than I would purchase a VPI integrated amplifier. That's just me. .

It appears that the only thing on the table not "made" by VPI is the power controller |

Based on the description, I believe they are using the VPI ADS packaged into the motor housing. Mat, Harry or Mike at VPI had mentioned their will be three ADS variants available, a Goldilocks assortment. The current $999 shipping ADS is the middle one. I'm willing to bet the integrated ADS for the ML table is the based on the upcoming entry level ADS but I could be completely wrong.

This sounds like what Harman did to Lexicon - putting an intact OPPO disc player inside their sheet metal enclosure and selling it for 5 times more than the plain old OPPO. Lotsa profit in sheet metal these days. Darn turntable looks nice though . . . and, just think, *** ONLY*** $10,000 plus tax, shipping. and handling And I used to be an all Mark Levinson stereo person - everything but the turntable, that is. Now, I can do Mark Levinson EVERYTHING.
