“TechDAS has bought up the world's supply of 40 new old stock Pabst motors, which limits the Zero to 40 units total, world wide. At a cost of more than $400,000, you might think few would buy such a product but we were told that at least 10 have already been pre-sold.”

“While I didn't dare ask if a review sample might be possible, at the end of the second evening Mr. Nishikawa asked if I'd like to hear the Zero in my home. I expect that to happen late summer or early fall. The massive turntable will have to go "around the corner" from my equipment rack but fitting it into the room will be possible and I'm expected months of sleepless nights!”

Wow!

That is the same motor DDK uses in his AS2000 table.
 
I saw the AF0 in the flesh earlier this month and heard it with a system that comprised the WAMM Chronosonic speakers. No doubt it was an impressive demo a glaring shortcoming however of the AFO are its ergonomics. At first Mikey seemed intimidated cueing up LPs and changing records, the table requires one to have ample reach, its plinth and superstructure that surrounds the platter are massive. you wont be moving this dude around very often.
