Looks fun... if you've got very deep pockets! And I wonder how they avoid acoustic feedback.

I think I'll stick with my Pye Black Box
Well the core of that is a standard REGA 1 turntable, arm and "Carbon" cartridge, the combination sells for £275. https://www.analogueseduction.net/rega/REGAPLANAR.html. They have paid a bit extra for the transparent platter rather than the standard black one, but the is only about £50.

And they are retail prices. Negotiate and commit to volume and you can divide those numbers by two, or even three.

In fairness that is a well thought of basic deck combo, and has been going in various guises since Adam was a nipper.
