I have to say how much I appreciate you guys making this video in English. I think us brits sometimes take for granted how much more concentration is needed when setting up stuff like this in your second language. I also love how Gunter turned up after the heavy lifting was done. A man after my own heart. 😏

As a 80s teen, I grew up in the time of the Walkman and Discman. I remember how CDs were sold as the ultimate experience of clear sound (even when not full sound range), no scratches or surface noise. I'm not going to lie, I value a good sounding system, but I also value the ease of modern streaming and wireless choices. That said, music needs to be enjoyable regardless of how is being played. High-end system or transistor radio, if you are enjoying music and the experience of listening to it, you are doing it right. This said, Michael does it right. I always learn and get inspired for your passion for audio and music. Cheers from Cincinnati, Ohio.

That's a beautiful table, and an incredible system overall. In truth, it is the kind of system that most never have the chance to hear, some are lucky enough to hear a handful of times, and the very fortunate few have the chance to own. Enjoy it!

Thank you for sharing your work of art turntable.

Well, great video. But what I really missed is a demo of you using at, putting on a record at start playing and using it, so we can se it in operation and hear how it sounds.

I think buying and setting up a new turntable is one of the most gratifying experiences in life.

OMG😮! Soooo nice, really crackin' good! I couldn't even afford the legs of this beauty!😅😊

Beautiful rig Michael!! Your entire setup is a model for audiophile excellence! Thanks for allowing us to see your setup, makes your channel that much better!

The attention to detail of the engineering is just mind boggling, the ways to adjust the feet and tone arm, the consideration that’s gone into all that is genius. Just seeing the mirror exactness of the sub platter made me feel gooey inside.

Absolutely gorgeous table Micheal, congratulations and many happy hours of enjoyable listening. I remember how much I fell in love with my Gold Note Mediterraneao table when I first got it and setting it up....cheers....✌️

I remember when I bought my Goldnote Bellagio Reference Turntable with a Tri Planer Arm & Benz LPS cartridge, when it was being set up I was so nervous but excited, it took about 3 hours and sounds great

Wow that is an amazing addition to your home Michael! I hope it will provide you with many many years of audiophile pleasure! Thanks for sharing 😊

A wonderful pleasure of this "Aerolith turntable". A vivid emotion accompanied by a sense of accomplishment. Einstein who completely fulfills wishes and needs in space in time. :-) What luck 😃 that presents an ideal. Michael and Volker = 👌 ❤Heike

Congrats on the new table. It looks wonderful. I hope the sound quality is what you hoped for after everything settles in. Enjoy! Cheers, Tom

Today I learned that building a turntable is rocket science. It looks wonderful. I wish you many hours of joyful listening.

Gotta love that copy of Richard D. James Album. A staple of any good music library ;)

Congratulations Michael! You know what comes next. Full review of all records on new turntable 😄

Wow very special -superior engineering! Years of enjoyment ahead Michael! Exquisite! 💙💙💙🙌🙌🤗🥰😘

So happy for you Michael! Love that the Rega wrench is used for tightening the cartridge to the arm. That smile may be permanent!

Congratulations Michael, it looks magnificent, and I hope it brings you lots of joy! Well done 👏

One can only dream Michael! Enjoy your new turntable, don't wait too long before giving us your views on it!

Congratulations Michael. Beautiful turntable. Enjoy!

Truly a thing of beauty - I’m sure the sound will be equally as impressive when you have everything fine-tuned. Amazing engineering - that platter almost looks as if it were a Concorde spare 😊. We all look forward to on-going updates. Enjoy Michael.

Glückwunsch, großartige Anlage - auch in der Präsentation auf dem tollen Sideboard!

Congratulations for your new turntable. Very, very nice.

Wow it looks like your putting together and apparatus for NASA, I am so envious it must sound amazing congrats!

very beautiful and Congrats to you !!

Beautiful set up Michael!

wow - that looks absolutely fantastic - with sound quality to match I'd imagine? Congratulations 🙂

What a beautiful piece of machinery Michael, the amount of engineering and craftsmanship that went into your TT is mind boggling. It has the simple beauty that reminds me of a Porsche 356, but with the performance of a 911 GT3! I can't imagine how incredible it's going to sound, I'm looking forward to your sound reviews.

Very impressive. Congratulations.

Herzlichen Glückwunsch. Wirklich ein Stück Inscheniörs-und Produktionskunst. Grossartig. Ich wünsche Dir ganz viel Spass und Hörgenuss.

This is very interesting thanks for sharing your new purchase. I hope it gives many years of listening pleasure. I look forward to your thoughts and opinions after some time spent with it.

What a fantastic turntable Michael, I hope it brings you many years of pleasure.

Congratulations. Really a dream come true.

It’s a great looking piece of equipment, no I mean art… All the best and happy listening. I guess our journey is always evolving. Just one thing… I hope you don’t have to move your new turntable any time soon.😂😂😂

Wonderful very happy for you

Congratulations !

...englisch ist ok, wegen der Verbreitung im Netz. Aber der eine Stein ist ja ein Bochumer Bub...Schön daß Du Spaß mit dem Teil hat...Analog ist schon eine richtige Wissenschaft und natürlich Leidenschaft die auch Leiden schafft - well done - well deserved !

That’s one awesome setup 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Beautiful system. Enjoy.

Congratulations, looks great.

Lieber Grüße an Herrn Bohrmann; wirklich ein sehr gelungener und edler Plattenspieler 👍🍀💛💙💯

Gorgeous piece of engineering! Really beautiful, congrats! I,m really glad. that you got an extra mono arm, I remember that I suggested to you to do so when you started the channel! Enjoy!

Stunningly beautiful 🤩 I’m also in the process of upgrading my Acoustic Signature Merlin table to the new Acoustic Signature Tornado with 2 tonearms, one with a stereo cartridge and the second one with a mono cartridge. So I can play all the mono records that I’ve been buying lately from your website 👍 Regards from Sweden

I thought setting up my new cartridge the first time was difficult! Just kidding, this is really beautiful and I enjoyed watching the process.

I’ll gladly take your old turntable! 😆

Bravo! Looks great :)

This is basically why I don't think I have anything to gain from listening to your music/sound reviews anymore - comparing my setup to yours, I'm pretty sure we're hearing completely different music/sound : ) appreciate everything you do, but this is the elephant in the room for me.

Wow, thanks for this Michael, fascinating!

Congratulations Michael

An impressive display of engineering. Wow..!

A thing of beauty!

Congratulations. Following your dreams and accomplishing them is very important in life. I'm very happy for you. By the way, the turntable looks stunning

Loved this video. A few months ago I was at my dealer and watched the Nagra factory technician assemble their new anniversary table, which was also interesting to watch.

Michael, we need to hear more about your wonderful system.

Super impressive.... not so practical but so much FUN !

Beautiful..❤️‍🔥

Third watch of this video. Take everything in. Superb engineering. After decades of actually working in the field, Volker simply says, thus is the way to do it. No BS theories

Congratulations Michael and thank you so much for allowing us to join you in this incredibly exciting adventure. Your entire system is absolutely gorgeous and I truly enjoy all your audiophile reviews and videos. I have to ask though… if not too personal….how much does one need to spend to buy a system like yours? Suddenly my “high end” audio equipment seems…..lame. ;)

Have fun Michael !

3:13 I like the alignment feature for the heavy platter installation. I have a similar design on my TT, also the graphite mat. I wonder if you could ask the designer why he settled on graphite, if he tried just placing the record on the aluminum platter, and if he makes the mats. I purchased a couple of graphite mats many years ago from a company called "Boston Audio" I believe he sold the company a few years ago. Anyway, hope you continue to enjoy the new TT!

Beeindruckend! Ich wünsche dir viel Freude mit dem neuen Dreher. Bin gespannt, wie viel mehr Klangqualität der Mono-Tonabnehmer bei entsprechenden Platten bringen wird.

I don't know if it has magical powers, but it looks magical. An engineering marvel with the best materials.

So eine Schönheit! Viel Spass beim entdecken.

Your friends in 1598 miss you!

Beautiful

Amazing - $110,000.00 for a turntable - I bet that is a very nice thing to behold. Materials and tech look stunning.

Wow. I guess ignorance is bliss from my end. All of this seems so unnecessary, but then again I bet it sounds amazing. Congrats Michael.

It's good to be rich. Btw. the upside down Rolex was... yeah...special :D

Congratulations on an amazing audiophile life 💪

Truly a high-end experience. ❤

It would be great to hear your thoughts on this table now that you’ve had it for a good few months. Hopefully an updated video won’t be too long away? 👍

Fantastic Michael very happy for you.. always wondered what do you do for the day job?..excellent video as usual..

Fantastic

Wow.....very interesting

I understand why high end turntable has to machine the spindle and bearing shaft as one piece where the bearing noise can transmit all the way to the record touching the spindle. I understand in budget turntable for easy centering but with expensive turntables they can certainly decouple the spindle from the bearing shaft.
