Bottom Line:   
Mine is fitted with the "Atlas" power supply and HR100MCS tonearm and a Koetsu cartridge and it sounds terrific. CD is sterile in comparison. SACD is better - but this deck is still close and I have much more software. This turntable has terrific isolation and low "stylus noise". despite three(!) motors, it has no motor noise. The arm is made from one piece titanium tube with silver internal wiring. Until I can afford an SME20, this is my last turntable! Only four stars in comparison to the SME!

Bottom Line:   
A true stress reliever from the sound of 'modern day digital'. Your records become a treasure. Natural rendition of voices and instruments.

Works magic with very good electronics e.g SimaAudio Moon series. I have used it with NAIM & Bryston 4B-ST as well but theyslightly veil its true form.

I bought mine used and the value rating reflects this fact.

Bottom Line:   
These are rare decks. When used with the Atlas power supply I would say ease of set-up, use and sonic results leave the others begging until much further up the price scale!
