Turntables currently considered top of the range. Do you know what they are ?

I haven't been following this for a number of years. Just curious.

Does any of you have one of those ?

"Top of the range" is British English, that was intentional. When I think turntables, at least under $50k or so, I always first think British.

The name change isn't the point and you know better if I'm not mistaken. Have you heard a Master Innovation? I have. It's a pretty amazing deck.
