Looking again. It looks more like a gi-normous Pomfret Cake.
Question is: What's inside?
Deductive reasoning would have me thinking - Nougat. For it's critical damping properties.
Or maybe it's a Guinness depository.

Just out of interest let me know if your motor vibrates when switching to 45 via press button on the supply! The Heed makes a quiet hum and on selecting the 45rpm the motor doesn't vibrate , their is a change in noise from it but that is just the speed , its very quiet anyway.

Christ, that is one seriously ugly f*cker. There is absolutely nothing right about it, visually or proportionally. I hope it sounds good, but I would have to hide that in a deep, dark cupboard. All IMO, of course

Yeh i got that Hum, that was enough to make me send it back without the other problem i was getting. Very odd tho because the motor is silent now ive removed it ! Ah well i did not like the improvements anyway.

I know I have a deck with a skirting board plinth, and glue joins in the lid, and that was before I snapped the top-plate to make tinkering easier - but I share Andre's view that the Onkk is not my aesthetic cup of tea. Presumably at sixteen fousand sovs it sounds pretty good - which begs the question a bit why if Emporium are show-casing its ability to reproduce music as the artist intended - they have picked an Origon Live arm. Is it just the hardened cynic in me wonders if it was what they had to hand? And again - people in glass houses and all that, (as someone with a friend whose HiFi company web site is not great) - the Onkk website says that they use "BLEEDING edge technology" The world is your lobster my son!

Skirting Board! I always thought the PT plinths looked fantastic.
Wernt the surrounds made in Sheffield at some point?

That is why Pinkie had to get a wall shelf. The PT blended in too much with the furniture. 😜
As for the T/T posted by Mr Brook - visually it's not my cup of tea. I could live with it if it sounds absolutely stunning though.

I really tried to like it. I searched for every Google image from every angle but it didn't get any better. The platter looks like it belongs on a different deck and the buttons looks like they have been taken from a 1970s toy. Even the plinth is unattractive: it looks like some 1930s Bakelite remnant. It's a British made deck so it should be welcomed. Hopefully it sounds better than it looks but I have an every feeling its looks will affect its saleability. It reminds me in many ways of the car designed by Homer Simpson named "The Homer". Let's hope it doesn't meet the same fate

I also noticed the reference to 'bleeding edge' technology on the Onkk website. Presumably they mean leading edge but bleeding edge is a term used, just not likely to be be one they are likely to want to be associated with.

No, it's got plenty of precedent. It's one of those super-superlatives, you know like, "I always give it 110%" The bleeding edge is right out on the tip of the leading edge!

Precedent doesn't make it right or proper though!
