i'm confused by the back end of the turntable, it does not appear to have any outputs, just power and ground, how does that work?

I suspect the signal leads are out of shot. I’m confident it won’t be mute!

i saw a lot of images of the table on instagram this morning from all angles, and the outputs were nowhere to be found, but maybe they just used a dummy table for photos that didn't have cords because they thought it looked cleaner.

I found it. The answer that is, from Naim’s Clare Newsome: “Cable direct from tonearm, out of the underside of the deck, into the phono stage. Burndy is for power.”

Oh, I see. Thanks for clearing that up.

£16K for a turntable seems very silly to me, but at least its an audio manufacturer releasing something other than earbuds.

16k is cheaper than the top LP12 Klimax model, I wonder who will be the first to do an A/B comparison? Another Naim OEM product, what next? the 5si series?

The 'output' from the turntable is (with the exception of the ground) via the dedicated pins on the power socket.
