I know its supposed to be all about the sound...... But look at the versalex..... Its £4k and just look at it.... Pride of ownership? Finely crafted? I think someone is having a laugh.
I'm certain it works well because many people with much turntable experience and good ears have bought one. But there's just no way I can see any value in the thing. The Rega RP10 is a grand cheaper on the HiFi Lounge site. Put them side by side. Which one cost more to make? Which one looks like its something worth having? Which one will last for decades?

I currently have a Simplex on loan from Phonography and I have to say I am blown away. Best sound I’ve heard in my life. Attractive looks . Simple and clever engineering solutions. Brilliant and lovely
And you've heard some good sounds in your life so far!
I remain stuck in my LP12 mindset but as the owner of your old Obs I respect your opinion and my appetite is whetted!
Bugger!!
Do Simplex users genrerally use the mat, or go without ?
