Well-Tempered Golf Ball?

Further in that same issue of TAS there is a full review (sorry, I didn't see it before I posted.) Apparently the arm is attached to the top of the ball - they don't specify the brand - and then the ball is floated in a cup of damping fluid. They gave it an excellent review, but jeez, that looks like the hi-fi equivalent of duct tape. They couldn't have even painted it? It's actually kind of a cool idea that looks like it was executed in the garage.

The price for the tables is New Zealand pricing. I took this off from Totally wired. They state the price for the tables will costs less than a Linn tone arm. Hope this info helps.

Amadeus Turntable - Dual layer MDF sandwich construction plinth, complete with tone arm and isolation base NZ$4,400

Amadeus GT Turntable - Dual layer acrylic sandwich construction plinth, complete with tone arm and isolation base NZ$5,700

Acrylic dust cover for all models NZ$630
WT Isolation base for use with other turntables and CD players NZ$710

I'd have to dig up some of my Columbia 18-holes to play on it.

what rcm is gonna work best if you get a bogey???

Any truth to the rumor that they will follow with a turntable called The Caddy Shack?

I'm really Teed off because I hate golf.

Instead of the name "Amadeus", they should have named it:

"The Mulligan" :-)

Evidently you guys didn't read the web site very carefully:

It is NOT a golf ball...
It is a PRECISION MADE GOLF BALL.

All the difference in the world!

If tracking proves sub par, is that a good thing?

When I use a 4 piece Golf Ball, I will have more backspin on the reproduced notes?

Wow, I can make a Tonearm from a fishing rod and balance it on a golf ball and I'll be in Vinyl Heaven !! Who needs mega-buck turntables now? The ad promises "new music" from my old LP's. I can't wait to hear Miles Davis play "So What" all over again for the first time like I have never heard it before. Well Tempered needs a bailout.

It's an actual golf ball! Here is the Well Tempered website. Look...it's a GOLF BALL!!!
