Even worse looking.Originally Posted by daytona600
just posing for the technics fans on AOS
agree pricing a bit stpep ( this is the entry one ) one above @ 50,000 euros
The radical differences in look, sort of suggest random ideas with not much coherence of design but I suppose it might be under the hood so to speak.
Anyway if I was buying a new TT I know exactly what it would besadly can't afford to but at least I know what it would be

AMG Viella V12 Turntable
I have just heard the AMG Giro and it destroys every turntable I have here, not slightly but massively, including every Technics I have, regardless of what arm or PSU I have tried on them. Simply stunning and the best analogue experience I have ever had in my home. I don't mind saying but I got pretty upset when it had to leave the house.

Very nice - my kind of thing, especially the clean, 'sober' looking, bling-free aesthetics and chunky platter. Shades of Brinkmann....
I presume it's a 'belter', albeit it a very good one?

Those AMG TTs look lovely. I've not heard of them before.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

German company who have been making TTs for other companies before launching their own.

I wonder if they are anything to do with the German AMG Mercedes tuning people?

Maybe that's why I like it!
Does it have a 'vrrooommy' sound?
