Form an orderly queue :lol: Limited to 500 produced.

Aro mkII arm and belt drive. Includes cartridge, phono stage and psu. £16k

I must admit I really like the look of it but won't ever be buying one. Naim sheep will go nuts for this.

Give it time, got to get them on the rack first, then turn the ratchet.

Agree that it does look rather nice though.

I was wondering what the big secret was with information and photos being surpressed (see PFM) :lol: This was a surprise. Will there be a bake off with a top spec LP12. :lol:

I am sorry to say it but I don't like it, the over thick platter is out of proportion and in any case doesn't appear to add anything. Additionally, the height means that the arm has to sit on a pedestal to be high enough. It does nothing for me I am afraid.

The platter is that high because of three levels of isolation. They don't say what they are.

The 16 k appears to be tt,arm and cartridge.Although this is not clear
