Excellent piece of turntablophillia
Love this book lots of great pictures for those of us who love the sight of a hi end or even a not so hi end turntable, and full of historical information. Only one small quibble I would love to see some of the eccentric designs from Nottingham Analog in the book. But in general a work of beauty almost as beautiful as a girodec.

Nicht billig, aber wirklich gut.

If you're into turntables, this is a fantastic book! A brief history of each 'table listed and very in depth. Although, oddly to me, the Garrard Zero 100 did not make the book. There are very simple designs from the 50's, up to sophisticated turntable's of today. The history goes back to the beginning. Pictures are beautiful. Well done!

Good book as expected

Ho alcuni volumi su questo tema, inutili ma piacevoli da sfogliare. il testo è in inglese ma quello che c'è scritto non è di molto interesse. La parte iconografica invece è carina, con foto anche storiche. Gli apparecchi mostrati sono molto belli, come sempre accade in questi libri. Dal vivo è un'altra storia. per gli edonisti dell'hi-fi che hanno percepito la fregatura ma desiderano continuare a sognare. Come me.

Bellissimo, anche se un po’ caro.
