Torqueo - any info or updates?

@lewm, yup this election mess has a lot of people mess up which to me is a little scary as the threat of violence has come up from both sides.
So much for modern sophistication. Humans have no changed much in 150 thousand years.
The Sota is an easy turntable to recommend especially to someone who seems to like wood. It outperforms turntables many times it's cost. I am sorry if you are tired of me recommending it however, I shall not stop. Best not read my posts in the analog section. At least I am short and sweet. You should be glad I'm not Millercarbon harping on swarm subwoofers:)
EK1977 it is a nice looking turntable that appears well made but it is idler driven and these turntables particularly with a heavy platter are prone to rumble, wow and flutter down the line. It is not well suspended so it will be prone to foot falls and other environmental disturbances and noise. 
The SME 30/12 is a very cool turntable in person. It's pictures do not do it justice. The AVid Actus comes in several flavors and is a very good turntable. The very best turntable and the one I lust after is the Dohmann Helix but it's looks do not suit everyone although again it's pictures do not do it justice. Is that better Lewm??

@lewm, did you get out of the wrong side of bed today? I gave the OP my opinion which does not change with the weather. Actually 
The OP does not like the looks of the Sota which is also fine. He wants something which looks cooler. In that case I suggest an Avid Actus. No wood but a good turntable. He might also look at the Transrotor Turntables. Actually there are a host of cool looking turntables out there.
I find it interesting that the market is bent on coming up with the coolest looking turntable instead of the coolest performing one. But hey, everyone is entitled to spend their money any old way they want and I am entitled to have my own opinion whether you like it or not.

Hi Erik,

I looked at the web site. It is pretty but I am not impressed. I do not like idler wheel drives and the table is not suspended. They sell an "isolation platform" but they do not mention exactly how it isolates the turntable do I am dubious. If you like wood which I certainly do go here https://sotaturntables.com/products/cosmos-eclipse/
and have a look. This turntable has a great suspension and drive, vacuum clamping and you can have it in any wood you want, Zebra wood included.
