To be honest I'm not really a belt/thread drive chap. My moniker might be a give away.
Anyway having cruised through numerous threads (no pun intended) on here and couldnt help but notice how enamored chaps are with TecDas, SME, Micro Seiki etc.
Therefore I thought I ought to give this mode of drive more consideration. It is not that I've never had a belt drive, just been a very long time. There is an Aphalson Sonata, boxed, in the attic.
I'm a vintage sort, so a Micro appeals but they are on the rare side. My brother has moved back to the UK from Japan so not so easy. I am actively encouraging him to return!
Anyway I had been considering an offering by our Dutch and German cousins, the Tribute. Somewhat confusing but I think plinth etc, Dutch. Motor, German.
Until I stumbled across .......Purple Haze, or the Purple LP Eater!
Looks very interesting. Obviously a homage to the Micro.
UK made by Acoustat who make well regarded plinths. I will speak to them next week to understand certain elements of the construction, motor etc. Whatever, it looks nice.
