And then the Chinese made turntables.....

Have you seen the new Consonance LP & Droplet TT?

If not, here's a link: http://www.operaudio.com/products/DropletLP50Turntable.htm

Nice! Shame the acrylic is a sort of ****-stained yellow

Yeah, Ive seen the TT before but Ive never seen it advertised at any of the usual suspects, me thinks its a tad expensive.............

 

[T-bone Sanchez]

Sorry just found it!

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.

 

[Dynamic Turtle]

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!

Tenson, have a ZG bake-off, and supply a few beers and a curry.

your wish is our command

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!
