The original Harmonic TU-812 was around $400 (or that's what I remember paying) so yes the new MKII model is expensive and can't tell you if it's worth the asking price.
I owned the Harmonix TU812 original. Did not like what it did to the sound. The shun mook is a totally different beast. And yes, the bass digs deep. I use other gabon ebony planks and blocks in my system and if not used properly, it will suck up some bass.
As for the price, its entirely up to you. Is it worth it? Depends on what you own. If you can drop 10+k on your analog front end, Im sure it will do justice.
As far as i know, Bill does not have lots of lumber to make these clamps anymore so getting one can be a challenge.
The HRS analog disc is one of the better record clamps i can recommend. iMO, it does better than the original Harmonix TU812. Another clamp worth recommending is one made by Audio Tekne. Very open sounding.
FrankC, Thanks for the feedback. I thk hk-gadgets is fr HK not Malaysia based on their site in eBay . Will check out their clamp if any. I have bdr clamp, audio tekne ( listed for sales ), Kuzma , harmonix & a DIY slate with brazillian kingwood , quite good & cheap- checkout lencoheavendotnet. Off all the clamp, I like Kuzma the most & would love to have shun mook clamp
