I have a lot of respect for several TT designs, including the Micro 8000, for example; but I am very suspicious of this particular TT. The reason is that this TT appears to be more of an intellectual exercise than a "best solution" for the greater problem of "properly presenting an LP to an arm/cartridge combination". Though I have heard nothing bad from the few AF1s I have "heard", this AF Zero seems to present itself with a whole new host of problems to overcome, just because of the absurd masses involved. Perhaps this one will turn out to be "plug and play", but, honestly, this would surprise me. On the face of it, I'd guess that few if any new owners will ever get more from this than they might from far less complicated and/or less costly TTs with well proven and reasonably accessible and consistent performance. Of course, "value" is not a consideration here. Of course, it's not my problem. Just saying...Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
