This one#'s less hard on the eyes:

The Motus aligns with my idea of how a DD turntable should be done.
I think it has special feet. But no internal springing. I have posted a review with some info.
This is nice.
F off Dave, thatâs mine when I can afford it⌠
Seriously, heard lots of good things from those whoâve had the chance to compare it with other highly rated tables. Arms look good too
Arms are in a different price range.
What a horrible colour
The Sorane ZA-12 has a fair bit of vintage DNA, Iâm never happy with a cart twisted quite like this but my OCD makes no difference to the sound/
I donât like the arm. I would replace it with a Thomas Schick 12â, Origin Live 12â Encounter or Moerch DP8 12â tonearm.
On looks alone I really love the Sorane arm.
I have questions.
Everybody should own the Indonesian cassette of Whiplash SmileâŚ
Might be a bit of a bargain there.
There is a 300b on aos that seems better value.
You want a bargain track this down.
If thereâs a âEurope marketâ version, I 100% guarantee the mains transformer will be specced for 220VAC at best. These things are always cheap for a reason IME.
All the gear I got from China was 240v and they were all first class for sound and build. For the money.
My first about ÂŁ400 ballpark. Class A
A review.
Perhaps some kit was shipped that actually was 240VAC specified, but I doubt if very much of it was.
The UK is supposed the be Euro-harmonised voltage-wise, but the specifications for that were written very generously so that across Europe old generation and transmission infrastructure could be left in place without billions being spend bringing everything to a genuinely uniform voltage - thus you can encounter anything from ~215VAC all the way up to ~250VAC as you travel about.
The makers of Cheap Chinese gear donât concern themselves with details that most Europeans themselves donât have a clue about - they alight on the number â220VACâ and thatâs the transformers they ship. On a good day⌠The transformers survive - mostly - but they can contribute to short component lives, especially valves.
Iâd rather buy properly-specced used gear than brand new chifi. I simply donât trust any of it.
Cayin was well regarded at that time and blew most U.K. beer out of the water for build quality.
