    Its made by Hanpin in Taiwan. has a microphonic folded metal plinth and the arm is not removable. Sound decent for money I'm told, but its not gonna compete with proper secondhand decks imo.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    It is. My point being that it’s seems to be the only one that has had a bit of thought applied to its design and execution. Sounds pretty decent, too, unlike the AT-LP120, for example!

    Cheers Grant.

    I've read that the plinth can benefit from being fitted with some sound deadening panels, but otherwise it gets glowing reviews from the magazines and audio (and AV) fora.

    However if your read user feedback on Amazon one or two people have had poor samples, displaying unacceptable wow and flutter and noisy motors. Probably a 'Friday afternoon' effect, but does show the quality control is not as thorough as it might be.

    I would pass on the Reloop for sure. Had a play with one and the plinth is as microphonic as heck, one light tap comes through the speakers.
    CD player = Marantz CD6006
    DAC/pre = Rotel RC 1572
    Power amp = ADA PF201
    Speaks = Quadral Chromium Style 6

    The Reloop didn't go down so well in the latest Hi-Fi World. The dreaded 'cogging' was evident.

    The Audio Technica is a better bet but best is a vintage Technics, if you want DD.
