Loving the turntable looks but not sure about the pointy bit in the last picky, looks rather naked and a bit Heath Robinson, sorry, still, if it sounds good who cares.
Please take good care of your S2k keep it by your side for long and enjoy it from the bottom of your heart and share the quality and legacy of the S2k with many friends so that the legend of the S2k will continue for long. Shigeru Uehara Designer Honda S2000.

Yeah it is a bit scruffy but I sit 3.5m from it so I don't have to look at it and the sound makes up for any lack of looks
