You evidently know something about turntable #1. It occurred to me that for such an all-out effort, there must be a mechanism for centering the LP, as seen in the Nakamichi turntables of yore. For my $650,000, I want that feature. Is such a feature incorporated into #1? Because, after you've coughed up maybe 500,000 Euros, you're still stuck with all those very slightly off-center LPs.
Otherwise, I'll go off and buy a Walker Audio Proscenium (for one example of a fine but very expensive turntable) and a Ferrari 458 and a beach house on an island in the Pacific.
Follow Ups:
Sorry, but no, it doesn't feature auto-centering. Instead it constantly monitors the arm (via laser distance measurement) and moves it accordingly, so the tracking error angle is kept within +/- 0.02°. Iirc, Rainer also mentioned that it would work with inside-out cuts, too.

wouldn't that correction device be driven a bit crazy, trying to keep up with the LPs eccentricity? Actually, now I am wondering how the Schroeder LT tonearm reacts to LPs with this issue.
Maybe there is no issue; I have to think about it.
Lew: I don't think it cares. I.e., even with a perfectly centered record the arm drive would do ca. 2000 microsteps per revolution, so one could say that it's busy anyway.

They still sound good, though. I've been playing those slightly off-center LPs for many years and they still sound good to me.
Moreover, it is a rare occasion when I can visually detect that an LP is off-center, although that is likely more a function of my visual acuity than it is an assessment of LP quality. But for $650K, you've gotta get some feature that most other turntables don't have. Gosh darnit!
For that money, I would expect it to play both sides of a record without having to turn it over! :)
