Please share.From what I can see on the pictures I wouldn't prefer this table to an original Brinkmann one.
The motor configuration doesn't make sense to me.

Well that seals the deal for me. Thanks for your opinion.I’m sure it does but I’ve never been an admirer of Acoustics Signature.
Oh, Acoustic Signature has come up with something: active phase shift (AVC anti vibration controll) in real time to compensate for any differences in motors. I think that will work very well.Lots of noise potential and assume all motors run at exactly the same speed...big assumptions I think. I remember my 3 motor Voyd. it was dynamic as hell but noisy, which made things sound a bit "dirty".
I like the old school stuff from Brinkmann more. Synchron turntable with the two movable arm bases. Was a milestone in the eighties, today I would buy it a better motor control and listen to records with it until the end of my life (88 lbs pure metal)Me not like the design… It may sound great but wouldn’t buy it, due to the looks - I don’t like it. To me it looks more like something you can process hay - and get flour out on the other side… sorry to say !

With this 90-degrees motor configuration you have a lateral force on the bearing into the middle between both motors.Please share.
And some of us recognize a placeholder when we see one !Well, I expected this level of negativity on FB, X, but not here, especially when not one of you has seen or heard this table. I think we're all getting old, some become close - minded, some continue to embrace change. It is what it is...
At least it’s not simply a rebadged Balance…it is 5x more expensive than a balance…And some of us recognize a placeholder when we see one !Now Gryphon can sell a complete analog system with their logo on it. Not very different from Mcintosh selling a Clearaudio TT with their logo on it. I get the motivation, just don't expect me to get excited !

Should be named Sisyphus as that is who you will feel like after shelling out 150k.Here is Analog Planet's recasting of the press release:

Gryphon Apollo Turntable & Siren Phono Preamp
High End Munich 2024 is officially getting underway across the Pond in just a few hours, but we have some more cool new products to look at before the doors open on the show. Today, we’re going to look at a pair of upcoming products from Gryphon — namely, their Apollo turntable and Siren phono...www.analogplanet.com
With a turntable named 'Apollo' I am surprised they named the phono stage 'Siren'. What happened to Athena, Aphrodite, Demeter or Circe Lannister?

I’d just be surprised if Helmut Brinkmann is going to design a better turntable for someone else than he can manage for himself… if it’s not already then going forwards you’d imagine his very best work will likely ultimately be on a turntable that will be bearing his own name.I was there when gryphon people played it for Mr. Fremer. Sonically it’s good, really good. However after knowing the price tag, it’s difficult to convince me. These are my wonders,
1, I could just get Brinkmann Balance / tonearms, how far is that comparing this one
2, the two motor strings from both sides are really annoying me, if they can somehow hide them in the design, it will look perfect to me, coz I like traditional plinth style turntable.
3, the cartridge is basically pumped up otorfon diamond, but more than double the price, I still wonder how much better it compares to diamond, or just different.
The prices today will make Mike and Tang sound like low budget audiophiles on their analog journey.Should be named Sisyphus as that is who you will feel like after shelling out 150k.

Maybe he is too humble to play that game...so he plays it for Gryphon who have been in the uber space for their whole existence.I’d just be surprised if Helmut Brinkmann is going to design a better turntable for someone else than he can manage for himself… if it’s not already then going forwards you’d imagine his very best work will likely ultimately be on a turntable that will be bearing his own name.
In all seriousness though, I quite like the look, although I do find it a tad over-priced. If it was 40-50k I think it would be quite popular but may be I'm not keeping up with the latest prices.heh.
keep shelling ...
