Holbo airbearing turntable

Fremer states "I should mention here that this turntable for whatever reason or reasons is a static electricity producing dust magnet". And can be seen as such in his pics. 

You do NOT want any dust on a linear tracking arm....ever! Just food for thought.

Just commenting based on seeing one-not heard, few years ago.

MSRP certainly has gone up-yikes!

Very simple design almost Rega-ish. Not a bad thing, but...

A $12K price tag warrants a hear before buying IMO. 

Does the company offer a trial period?

It's not $12K, it's just under $5K.

Just trying to find someone that's bought one. I did read the review article.

Thanks to everyone that's replied. I didn't think about the dust magnet. I live in AZ and it's very dusty here.

I have never heard of the turntable… not in itself a deal killer… but not too mainstream. The more mechanical a devise the more I want to be close by for possible service. Adding an air bearing in my mind would require a local dealer that would service. Import it? I would never consider it. Solid state components I have imported. It’s a risk tolerance thing.

I tend to agree, if there's trouble down the road I have no recourse, really. But I do like it.
