I bunged that on here a couple of weeks ago. Obviously it's not selling! Nice though.
It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

That's the only nice thing about it... Horrid blingly pishanto! I detest that Jap 'faux rosewood' look with a passion - and then to make matters worse, they stick a bloody GOLD platter on it, just in case it's not fooking BRIGHT enough as it is...!!Just look at that arm
Now if the plinth were in a gorgeous piano black, and the platter were finished in nice polished stainless-steel (or matt black), then we'd be talking!!

I believe the platter is made out of bronze Marco, hence the colour. I must admit it is a little too blingy for my taste, and I usually like a bit of bling...

Bronze, shmonze, it still looks 'gold', muchacho - and I hate gold anywhere near a turntable, and on that T/T it totally clashes with that yucky 'rosewood'. If you observe my avatar, that's how I like a T/T to look...
Ignore the fact that it's a Techy or that it's mine. That's not my point, but you'll notice that, apart from the pitch control lights (which I'll do away with at some point), the look is sombre and rather understated, which I consider as classy and elegant. I hate things that look too bright or 'showy'!
