My dealer says it's a clear see through material. Not glass. The looks are to die for.

Also the belt and motor/pulley assembly is very closely aligned with their tape recorders. And this isn't a normal belt drive table in terms of how it's driving the platter - when compared to other dual motor etc etc drive systems. Nagra's experience in tape recorders and those drive systems are one of the key technologies being applied here.

Wow what a design. Clearly the market for this unit is extremely small but I sure wish I was in that market space.

Right now, looking at the current $150k+ contenders, this Nagra, the SAT DD, the new Kronos, the Jonathan Weiss cast iron unit, I know which one I'd want in my room, and it's not anything other than the Nagra.

Yeh, and you could buy nearly 3 to a zero!

 

[spiritofmusic]

I think of only one thing when I see the AF0.
Not the price.
Not the bulk.
No, the only thing I think is "dust trap".

 

[DasguteOhr]

Smart idea,the more wrap angles, the better i think 340 degrees. no slip and dip effect.

 

[jfrech]

My dealer is off to Switzerland today. I think he is seriously thinking of buying a demo unit. I am sure he'll let me know more info soon, especially what he thinks of the sound. We both have Grand Prix Monaco 2.0's today.
