Sumiko had a new Pro-Ject turntable on display, the "approximately $2000" Perspex, which sports the new 9CC Evolution tonearm.

The table has a mag-lev suspension and tunable sub-platter assembly and plinth.

The tonearm is called "9CC" because it's a 9" model using continuous carbon fiber. The bearing assembly seems monstrously overbuilt. "That gives it remarkable rigidity," said Norbert Schmidt.
