    Expensive? £3k UK RRP with that double-tier marble stand? Seems alright to me.....

    ...especially when you consider that the grey importers will probably be charging half that :)

    Ive looked around the importers before buut they dont seem to offer TT's at all. I think that acrylic is back-lit hence giving it that fresh urine look.

    Christ - they could've used a blue LED rather than a yellow one then!!

    Maybe the grey importers know how difficult it is to sell TT's and aren't bothering with them?

    I did read once that British TT's are the thing in China but its surprising that so few actually manufacture them, in fact I think Consonance is the only one, certainly the only large manufacturer.

    The blue led will also sound better......................................coat, door.

    That looks superb, bet it'll have a few Uk companies worried.

    The CD player looks quite nice too. The water droplets are a bit over the top though! I can't decide if it is ugly or beautiful. The TT is certainly nice looking. I wish all my Hi-Fi came with the **** finish!

    That gear looks impressive although as a boring old fart I prefer my turntable to not look too much like a north sea oil rig!
