Hi-Fi New Outstanding Product Ken Kessler rated sound quality at 90%, the score he has given to very few others, “The world is awash with delightful turntables at all price points, but this is the world’s best deck below £10k”

Build Quality Among the best-built turntables in the world, extraordinary machining, fit and finish. Hi-Fi News, Paul Miller, Lab Report, “This is about as silent as an LP/stylus will get although the deck itself proves to be quieter still with a through-bearing rumble of just –74.5dB (DIN B-weighted). This bests the TechDAS Air Force Two [HFN May ’15] by a very small margin and knocks on the door of the quietest thrust bearing we’ve measured – the SME 20/3 which achieved –75.4dB”.
