In Reply to: That is one beautiful table you have there! posted by 2chJunkie on February 15, 2002 at 08:09:02:
It's a work of sculpture, isn't it? Worth it just for the reaction of guests when they enter the living room!It cost me about $2500, ordered from phonophono in Germany. This is discounted, however, since I bought a demo model from them. The table comes with a number of options which vary the price considerably -- number of armbases, type of motor control, record weight, stand etc.
Right now I've got an OL-RB250 and a Graham 1.5T mounted on it. If my SPU ever gets retipped, then it'll get an RS-212 mounted on it as well!
Best

Does this phonophono have a site?How much does it retail for with two armboards? Does it employ any type of suspension? Is the motor AC or DC?
I could ask more but I have to run now. Just give me the low-down on phonophono and the table if you could.
Thanks for the info
Phonophono do indeed have a site:The main guy there is called Peter Luetzelberger and he is very helpful, speaks English, and is used to exporting to other countries. However he is quicker to respond on the phone than to emails.
At the time of my original order, all prices were in Deutschmarks (now they're in Euros), as follows:
DM 4888 turntable with one tonearmbase and armboard and record weight
DM 520 each extra armbase
DM 600 microcontroller (speed control unit, works on US voltage too)
DM 735 shipping
DM 6743 TOTALAt today's exchange rate (which is even better than in the fall), this would work out to just over US $3000. You would also need a second armboard (they will drill any armboard for you) for the second tonearm: I only know the price in Euros for this, about €70 (let's see if that Euro symbol comes out!), which is $61 at today's exchange rates.
The shipping is expensive because this sucker is HEAVY -- about 100 pounds with two armbases (the platter alone weighs 45 pounds), but you get the advantage of the great exchange rate and not having to pay Germany's VAT. And if you make sure that they label the package "record player", it will be duty-free through US customs (believe it or not!).
The turntable is non-suspended and requires SERIOUS attention to what you put it on. I currently have it on Geoff Kaits' Promethean Base.
