Even I do not share the Stitch's pessimism about the new Air Force TT but I do see his point that the new Air Force is kind of light version of  or Micro 8000. The platter base of Air Force  is 43kg but had 35Kg. The stainless steel platter of the new TT 19kg but the 8000 had platter 28kg. So, it looks like they added mass to the base, primary due to the service surfaces but removed from the platter. I do not say that mass meals anything but they do for sure change the mass balance. Frankly: the only 2 things that I do not like in the new Air Force TT is color (to me white sine finish feel too gay to me) and the fact that they offer an acrylic platter. That is kind of cheesy and stupid. It is like you are a gourmet chief in a fancy French restaurant and you offer to you pantones a sophisticates soufflé and by the wish of your customers you willing to sprinkle it with bowel movement. Ridicules! It shall be some integrity in what people do. It is as ridicules as Lamm making $ his 140K amp and allow user to have manually adjustable global feedback - the summit of idiocy!
