The photo really doesn't do it justice. I need to get a good camera out, but its packed away. The Ortofon Hi Jack arm lift makes it a convenient table to use. One thing I found is I hate the wiring on those Yamamoto head shells, very stiff.
In some ways it reminds me of those high end bikes that Olympians ride. Everything is stripped off and its inconvenient. The cartridge has to be shimmed for VTA adjustment for instance. But on the other hand the mechanical nature of the arm is more stout and should theoretically be less resonant...which allows the cartridge to perform as it should. So while inconvenient, it may very well result in better sound.
Its an interesting table at least.....

Reminds me of sports cars in the '60s.
Very interesting table.
Thanks for posting.

Well I personally think the table has character. Heck I enjoy looking at it, never mind that it even sounds good. And it really does sound good, far better than I had imagined. It takes work to optimize its set up, and cartridge VTA is a real PITA, but its not a terribly complicated process. Just not convenient.
The depth and the finish of the lace wood is just superb in person. The character of the wood is complex, and the little tufts of light "fluff" just pop out from the base wood grain. It has a classic look, at least that is my take on it.
Interesting perspective to tie in 60's era sports cars. I suppose its true, as those cars were more distinctive, with lines that instinctively looked right..... Appreciate the post and your insights.
Aren't you supposed to be in Japan? I have been away from AA for a long time. I take it you came home?
