I'm Nari.
While looks like it will be a superb built bit of kit, nothing looks overly cleaver about it it uses a single large papst motor and still a belt drive design. It does have an impressive platter I have owned the Airforce one and was not happy with its performance one bit. My Micro seiki 8000 which comes from the same designer is a far more musical beast lets hope the Zero sounds more like the 8000.

I admire great engineering but is there anything new about this deck that may set it apart from the opposition, or indeed a deck like the SME 30 at a tenth of the price?
Main system: Sony TTS8000; AT1010; Audio Technica Art1; The Lentek; Cambridge 851n, Yamaha NS1000.
System 2 - SBT; Technics SH-X1000 DAC; Denon PMA-850
Sorry but I took one look at that without even watching the video and thought what a joke. Ok if someone wants to part with loads of dosh and can afford it good luck but I really don't see that being better than sp10, denon DP80 etc. Different maybe but not better.

I'm John.
WOW! who would have thought it would take all that set up to get a High End replay from a Vinyl LP.
I bet KTEL never see that one coming.
I bet it depreciates by 50% within 6 months of a sale date.
