I purchased this turntable used to replace my Walker and Continuum turntables, from the first note I realised this was a very special turntable indeed it made the Criterion sound compressed and very dry. This is the most un mechanical audio product I have ever used it is one serious beast indeed in every way in terms of build,finish and overall execution it is a world apart from any this I have seen. As far as I know only 30 examples exist so it is a very rare item on the downside it is very heavy and you have to deal with the large compressor I have built an out house for the unit. I paid $110000 used for the unit which is alot of money indeed but had no choice as they are very rare and sought after. |

Not many people will get to hear this product and that is a great shame. I don't own this turntable and at £50,000 (in the UK) I never will. As far as I know only about 20 examples will be built, so I count my self lucky for having heard it. £50,000 is alot of money for a turntable, but this is one hell of a lot of turntable. It uses air suspension with active stabilisation control, similar to that used on some expensive sports cars. Just pressing the plinth down, which itself is huge and heavy, and watching it return is a sight to behold. The movement is slow and controlled unlike the fidgety motion of many decks using springs. It's easy to imagine that this suspension system wont let much noise through! |
