After reading some things about this table on other boards, the concept seems cool, but I think most people could probably use that 16000$ elsewhere. First problem is that the records have to be fairly clean (unless you buy the 2800$ declicker) and the snap, crackles and pops are intensified, whereas in regular needle tables, the dust gets pushed along, so you dont get many problems soundwise. Then theres the problem that colored wax won't work with it (you have the table to specific vinyl color) It is cool, perhaps, but hardcore diggers, you could probably get something far more effective for a hell of alot cheaper.
