Somehow I doubt >they cost $2000 apiece, but they come up to speed in a quarter turn. I don't >know how these compare to SP-10's though. Anyone else know? the SP-15 is a budget version of the SP-10. no 78 rpm, no independent power supply for more than one turntable (the SP-10 power supply runs up to 5 or so tables), and a lower torque motor. there are other differences too. canadian list for the table and power supply is just under $3000 for the SP-10 MkIII. Additional tables are $2000 apiece. mount for the tables are $1000 apiece, but in professional use, you build your own. tonearm separate, of course. Herb Chong...
