The newer models have a half golf ball covered with the silver cap. I am a owner of a WT. Amadeus Mk.II. I realize a lot of people are put off by the golf ball and fish line approach, but that, along with a unique style platter bearing, make for a very musical presentation that few standard style (and much more expensive) turntable tonearm combos can match or exceed. IMOI agree mr m1.
I half joke that they put the cap on the golf ball on the MKII (which I own) because wives would take one look at the table and say "You paid how much?!?" :)
