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

@dwette - yes. I am very familiar with all of Clearaudio's lineup.

If you have the opportunity, try to get to listen to the same combination with the Unity v the Universal - there is a significant difference.

When I found that the Clearaudio Statement ( at US150,000 ) could not keep accurate speed I decided their TT's are not fit for purpose.

@yoyoyaya I’m aware of the Unity, and have talked to Ken Bowers about it. I have two Universal 12" tonearms. The Unity – at $20K (less the trade allowance for Universal arms offered) – isn’t really on my radar, so it’s mostly pointless to compare it to what I have (and am happy with)...not that I have the opportunity to anyway.

$150k turntable does not keep accurate speed ? I find it hard to believe. Why doesn't it, what's wrong ?

One of the best, perhaps the best, table I have heard is the Basis Transcendence.
