I have a saying… “too much muchness” that I think applies, at least wrt the aesthetics. I’ve not heard it so can’t comment on sonics.

Personally I think that looks awesome in design terms! Almost like a Wadax designed TT lol.

I still think a SOTA TT should have a good linear tracking option as certain systems especially SETs horns are best suited for that. Subtleties and nuances and free flow with a lack of structure are excellent. The Schroeder LT further convinced me like Vyger of that. The good thing about CS port is it offers the option to do both LT and pivot. No idea how it overall compares to the excellent pivots and to Vyger, but at least they have that thought process right.

Do agree Ked - this allows 4 arms so a good LT is a must. I would install the Bergmann Odin. Possibly a Reed 5T too. Then a big beefy Glanz or FR66.

no plans to add a tt to the stable, but agree this one has that 'look' of something special. agree on the linear tracker comments. will be curious whether the Primary Control can pull off the same magic tricks. probably some slightly different ones.

and, of course, plans can change. the sprouting uber tt merry-go-round does have my attention but only curious at this point.

and btw; your room is ready....but still no coffee.

great looking table and light years ahead of Deitrich's last table which was Fugly to say the least. I saw it in HK and it was HUGE.

Any communication on cost?

The market for Uber TT’s remains strong. Not sure anything beats the American Sound from DDK, but everyone gets to chose and find what fits them best.

Love the sound of CS Port LT

can be done. The 5.th arm board is behind the spindle between the two rear ones …

It looks a very substantial and interesting TT. Any pricing yet?

Do that and I dont think you can play your left rear arm. Most LTs take a lot of real estate and limit the ability to have 4 arms.

Not sure you can even use the front right in this setup.



Haha. I can only assume one needs to be judicious on arm lengths at the various points.
