Most Architectural Turntable/Best Looking?


Okay, this is not the audiophile stance...but I have been in modern furniture/architecture/home building-remodeling for years, and looks..are a factor to me!

So, what are the best looking (and sounding) turntable/arms in the:

1. Under 1k $ range?
2. Under 2k $ range?
3. Under 3k $ range?
4. No limit range?

Thanks.

I'll nominate the Spotheim La Luce and the Oracle. The new VPI HR-X is also a real beaut.
Hmmm.
I've always loved the looks of the rega P25 with cherry. Slightly retro, but nice clean, timeless lines. 1275 new

The clear acrylic Basis 1400 with vector arm is the best looking at any price. It has a frosted platter, a clear acrylic body, and rests on three brushed aluminum cones. It's fairly small & looks like a piece of art. 2k?

For 3K, I would have to choose the rega p9. I just like small tables. I might also go with the 'classic' linn lp12.

For prices above that I'll pick my all black Basis 2500 with graham 2.2 arm. It's reasonably sized, and looks like something Porshe would design.

Not for a living room, but the most impressive looking TT is the Rockport Sirius. Also head and shoulders the best sounding component source I've heard. The owner played a $7500 and a $20,000 cd player side by side with it. Wasn't even close.
I am an architect, and i have a rega p25, and a new p9. Does this mean anything? I don't think so...
