Split plinth design vs. isolated motor design.
Alloy tonearm vs. carbon-fiber tonearm.
Ortofon 2M Blue moving magnet cartridge vs. Sumiko Blue Point No. 2 high-output moving coil cartridge.
MDF platter vs. MDF platter.
Stainless steel main bearing vs. stainless steel main bearing.
“Modern” styling vs. “classic” styling.
$1195 vs. $1295.
