TTWeights closing their doors

Late to the party here but I thought I would comment.  As the manufacturer of the "Anvil " turntable I can see both sides to this discussion. Large companies certainly have the advantage regarding advertising budgets.  I know of a european TT manufacturer that spends nearly 10K a month on "point click" ads.  If I budgeted that amount I would either be on the road to bankruptcy, or I would sell high volumes of turntables.  Neither scenario is appealing to me, and I pretty much sell word of mouth.  A 2012 Michael Fremer review helped.  In the end, the designers-and customers make their decisions.  Regarding value my tables are essentially made to order,  start out as metal powders, and are precision machined. My design philosophy is different than either TT Weight or VPI.  A conversation with the customer starts the process, and they typically wind up customized in some way. They perform like tables which cost several times more.  Is this worth a little more or less than 3K?  

@13blm, not only are you late to the party but you're at the wrong party.  You post sounds more like an advertisement.

looking for a TTW copper platter, super platter or otherwise
also the super record weight 1420 gram size

There is a guy in Germany who sells replica ms cu-180 gun metal copper mats.
 They are supposed to be excellent.
