The Transrotor ZET 3 is an attractive looking turntable for around $4200.00 with the Transrotor 800 S Tonearm and Goldring MM 2002 Cartridge. That's a nice package at an attractive price.

Dave.......I like turntables with this type of design. The problem I see is keeping them dust free. A turntable like the Transrotor ZET 3 would require a dust cover that set all the way to the support surface, with specific notches where the power cord and interconnects passed through. Unless a dust cover comes with the turntable, which I don't believe it does, having one designed and manufactured would be difficult.

I saw the Walnut version with the ProJect arm at Paragon the other day when I was picking up the MEN-220. (I am pretty sure the Ortofon arm is special order only in the US)

it is,

and it's even better sounding!
and, pretty much lifetime support

and yeah, the dust is a 'problem', I had a black turntable, since my system is in my bedroom, there is quite some dust, a quick cleaning with a small cloth does wonders...

Same goes for cleaning Mc gear though. I do it with pleasure, given the fact that it serves me with beautiful music

another option is a Oracle Delphi turntable, also beautiful sound, brought to you in an attractive package

Keep them spinning,
Bert.

I've been spinning lots of vinyl lately and my Rega P25 with mods and upgrades is a great t'table and it's black, hard to keep clean. However, this t'table is a work of art (all t'tables are). It would look great sitting amongst a McIntosh system.
