((Weird. I got it appearing on "preview", and have gotten it every time since.))At any rate, agree on the styling ... such as it is today. This table has actually been around at this point for well over 10 years, and they've definitely been tinkering with the styling, if only infinitesimally, which is probably a good thing. With good results, I think. There is the British design sense that brought us Pug dogs and Welly boots, and then again, there's the British design sense that brought us Jaguar motorcars and Elizabeth Hurley.
To me, though, having been up to my ears in Garrard 301 stuff-- parts, wheels, bearings, platters, motors, etc --- for the last year and a half, it's the tantalizing reviews and the few pix available lately, showing the mechanism and the interior .... that makes it very intriguing indeed.
Kinda like pulling your head out from under the hood of your 1956 Chevy Impala, and then, when you look back, every single element has been retro-fitted by Nasa, circa 2006.
Pretty impressive-looking in there. But all the same concept, basically the same positions, and type of components (if all improved), all just brought into the next century.BTW the stock stripped model is about $13K, whereas the all-stainless Inspiration model, originating from ideas from a custom-build they did for one customer ---- the Pic shown before in the jaguar-red --- costs a seriously more substantial $22K.
But you're right. Gotta hear it. What's a little distracting, though, is that it probably can sound very different --- mostly all good, but different on the fine points --- depending on how you plinth it, and how you arm it. Like it's grand-parents.
I can well picture myself sitting listening in some very posh Beige Area Salon, and wondering if the plinth were just a little less x, or more y, or reset for z ................
Funny what happens when you take a Diy icon out of the hands of the Diy'ers and set it in stone, so to speak...J.
