The value of embellishment?

If I just HAD to have leather, maybe a well executed plinth with  clean work-stitching, color choice to satisfy a secret inner fetish?
Something you discover it's leather only by touching it.

You would have to be VERY careful with the yearly conditioner! I carefully apply near the drivers of the speakers of my speakers. Really lovely touch to  the speaker baffle, top and back panel. Turntable? I don't approve of this one. 

To each his own. I'm kind disappointed to see this is VPI approved.
I like VPI! It's a galvanizing brand, but I'm in. I dig the high dollar Tech Das and others, but I don't have that kind of setup.

"Sold a leather coat at the garage sale to a lady who was not sized accordingly.
Maybe she's gonna just cut it up and glue it to her TT."
fuzztone- you killed it! LMAO.

Back to listening-flipping side1 of  Jackson Brown-"Saturate before using"

Jesse Ed Davis fan-guitar on Doctor.

If Ricardo were alive today pitching the VPI, I say HUGE bump in sales.

Pitch in  for a "unique" cleaner, packaged in an artisan, eco friendly bottle? I see $$ with the right idea.

I imagine suede is too risky-maintaining the nap with brush is just asking for it.

What? !!

You're not getting the 8 track option? You ONLY live once...

Slaw, always looking around for a good deal. If I could, I'd jump on this instead

It's a fake veneer, but heck of a better table than one  those things. 

"Love the way Jesse Ed burns it up!
The real gem on that LP is, Jamaica Say You Will…"

oregon - Yes! I like the entire album. I go on binges of forgotten music. 
J.B, then spin off with his supporting cast. David Lindley fan here!
"For Everyman"  gets a thumbs up too.

I like to steal Jesse's licks while fumbling on my geetar. I keep a LP and Fender in the room.

"Now a David Lindley edition turntable could make some garish but interesting aesthetc"

tomic601-Perhaps a hybrid cross-Lindley's mop/Thing from the Adams family?

sbank-I like the "burst"! I think they're on to something with that finish.
Offered at the Ultradeck price even better. Upcharge for what you're actually getting kinda steep.

UltraDeck fun table for the price. Me thinks you're just getting a veneer.
Had the opportunity to take one for a spin when it was introduced.
