This came up on my feed today. Peter hope you have some classical
 
Yup … The same gut reaction as when I first viewed the images of it … A Crass Monstrosity !
i think to be fair with something that goes over the top in design, one needs to give yourself time to process it. and also, seeing a turntable that massive in person results in a different vibe. the original has a simple elegance in the photos this one misses to a degree. an all-stainless chassis translates better with simple structure, like the AS-2000 or maybe the Basis Transcendence. time will tell.

i think it's fantastic that efforts like this become reality. and if some design rules get broken in the process so be it.

my first reaction to the big Wadax was quite negative, but even before i heard it or saw it i did warm up to the look. just took time. now i love the look. when the Wadax was first introduced, many of the comments were about not being able to get past the look. mostly not even any mention of it anymore. we all processed it. of course, in this case of The Absolute Nothing, few of us will ever lay eyes on it.

Mike , I quite agree … however I have endured well over a week now allowing me to process the somewhat challenging form of this turntable , and my initial impression has not altered for the better.

me too....saw the pics a few weeks ago. this video did cause me to get slightly more comfortable with it. ask me in a month. have a ways to go but know it might take time. won't ever be able to afford it so no worries.
