Yes this turntable has got a wonderful desigen and craftmanship... but sound..... I am using also a turntable from Germany it is the SRA Seismograph II, I use it with 2 tonearms and 2 pickups, for one I use a cheap Audio technica mono system and sound is much better than any other turntable I have ever heard (Transrotor, SME, Simon York, Clearauido, Reed, Linn, Brinkmann, VPI, Micro Seiki...) regardless of the price. Do not forget a good Phonostage.
