Photos courtesy of Partime audiophile: “One of the highlights of the room, aside from the sound, was all of those Brinkmann turntables lined up around the room. I was drawn toward the new Taurus (11,990 euros) for an obvious reason–is that speed control pod wireless? Yes, it is!

From J.Valin at the Absolute Sound “Alfred Vassilkov of Estelon debuted his €110k, four-way, five-driver Forza (ceramic midrange, 8″ aluminum-sandwich mid/woof, twin side-mounted 11” woofers, and a diamond tweeter in a gorgeous, sealed, cast-stone enclosure), powered by CH Precision electronics, sourced by a Kronos turntable with ZYX cart, and wired with Kubala Sosna cable.
