You did in post #2! They look like superbly engineered pieces, I must say.

He did indeed. Not cheap with entry level at around 5k, but I believe you get what you pay for.

I know 🙄. In the end the convenience of the removable headshell won. Six months later, I don't really swap as much (after selling my MM and realising that I can't really hear that much difference between the AT33PTGII and the Dynavector XX2), but I guess I do fairly occasionally use the Mono cart. Yes yes I am trying to justify the decision so as not to beat myself up for it 😂

And all that will not made a poorly mastered vinyl sound good.....
🙂
It will however look brilliant and let people know you have won the lottery.
Touraj never did do things on the cheap, apart from Roksan that is....

He also has a lot of lovely cars. A man I know rents out his storage place to Nick to store his cars.

Pity because that's it in its natural state....

Correct, pure dust magnets.

Acrylic was fairly new when Michell produced their GyroDec (not sure who did it first), but now it's just too common and no longer looks different or impressive, it just looks cheap to me.

that´s why , even had bought in the 80´s and 90´s turntables the ones who kept working are my 70´s Technics, Pioneer and Thorens,
and i´m using technics now three turntables in the same room, different cartridges and stylus ,also headshells that matter a lot for the correct sound of the cartridge bought,
not just take one and put the other as all need different weight anti-skating and vta(when cartridges are huge)no need for pre-amplifier also as they have high output sound,
two phono inputs with selected impedance and no inpput being in use, for MC cartridges the amplifier as it´s own litle pre-amp, i´m refering to a Pioneer(78) ,a HH Scott(76) and a c-200 control from accuphase mid 70´s,
the turntables are a SL-3310 , SL-3100 and a SL-1310 mk II the less well built than the other two, are working perfect, main reason for being in use

Not worth having, they hide the mechanicals for some reason ,
like HPM in Acrylic ,no foam, they must sound very good,
also thought that vinyl was black as i saw more than one record factory in the 80´s and all material was black,
coloured records were made of wax and picture discs sound a lot better than most of the new re-released old records ,
some 60´s albuns might sound better or even 50´s records, but either than that almost all sound worst

Always had several Technics SL1300G , SP10R , SL10 at present
One of the coolest ever made SL7/SL10 in Vertical play never missed a beat in 40+ years
The legendary SP10R

it´s a nice turntable but the price is a horror bestiality movie, i wouldn´t mind having one, had for mayb e 1 month and a half a tech das (airforce one?)at home, not very good looking but it sounded really good, this is good and seems to have more components , which is better ? but the other was around 50.000€ , i think i would prefer this but if ofered

this is the top of the line for technics ,the adavanced model of the 79 SL-1000mk II , the turntable it self is a SP-10 of the modern badly built days, or today, i saw it in a friends store ,
not sure and i remenber the price being around 20.000€, when tested against the 79, SL-1000 mk II, with all amplifiers, speakers and records selected to compare both the 79 one sound a lot better not even close way above this new model ,
Technics said it was the 79 improved and they asked Nagaoka to build a new cartridge for it ,like in 79 mk II, as in midle 80´s or a bit later Audio-Technica substituted Nagaoka in the stylus and cartridge building for Technics turntables,
but the cheapest stylus and cartridge in 79 sounds above many 1.000€ stylus and the top cartridghe and stylus would cost without a doubt more than 5.000€, i heard it but came with the turntable we had in store, if i had none i would buy this but not worth the trouble,
i don´t agree or any other person that this is a improvment of the 79 model not once it sounded better no matter the speakers amplifier or records heard with.
About tangential turntables in horizontal works better, i the first time i handled a tangential turntable ,i thought S-shaped arms would vanish of how better was this system being equiped with linear tracking,
one had direct access but first the photo celular sensor in the cartridge would go from the start to the end of the record and only then the direct access buttons lighted in red with the number of tracks but with the years , still to understand why they were forgoten,
i even bought a Pioneer with a jog shutle not sure of the reference now for 3 years i almost never put records to play in my other turntable
