Well-Tempered Golf Ball?

The price for the tables is New Zealand pricing. I took this off from Totally wired. They state the price for the tables will costs less than a Linn tone arm. Hope this info helps.

Amadeus Turntable - Dual layer MDF sandwich construction plinth, complete with tone arm and isolation base NZ$4,400

Amadeus GT Turntable - Dual layer acrylic sandwich construction plinth, complete with tone arm and isolation base NZ$5,700

Acrylic dust cover for all models NZ$630
WT Isolation base for use with other turntables and CD players NZ$710

Further in that same issue of TAS there is a full review (sorry, I didn't see it before I posted.) Apparently the arm is attached to the top of the ball - they don't specify the brand - and then the ball is floated in a cup of damping fluid. They gave it an excellent review, but jeez, that looks like the hi-fi equivalent of duct tape. They couldn't have even painted it? It's actually kind of a cool idea that looks like it was executed in the garage.

Yes, I do agree with you Grimace about a black golf ball might have been a better choice. But this is what Linn should be doing at this point by offering a product completely user friendly,instead of being tied to a tech.

I stand corrected it is a black golf ball according to the article. But looking at it, I was certain that is was white.

The Web site shows the entry level model with a white golf ball and the deluxe version (GT?) with a black painted golf ball. Evidently, you have to pony up if you want WT Labs to paint your golf ball.

PS I suppose that it's possible that the golf ball turns black over time as the bearing breaks in.

PPS I'd only add that ping pong balls, large marbles and prosthetic testicle implants remain promising new arm bearing technologies that I trust WT Labs will explore in the not-too-distant future.
