    While I will never get another turntable, the engineer, and artist, in me appreciates many of the designs.

    What? No TechDas Airforce One ultimate? But then, you can't get one for 100K not to mention it'd appear in the 10K price range. From the list, I'd go wit the Hanss T-60.
    Trying out Different Audio Cables is a Religious Affair. You don't discuss it with anyone. :redface::biggrin:
