Epic H.H. Scott PS-97XV Handmade Turntable Burl Mappa Poplar Veneer GoRgEoUs Audiophile Flagship

One-of-a-kind piece of functional art.

Massively upgraded, fully automatic, direct-drive, quartz-locked - keeps perfect speed. Just push a button to start - that's it!

This table was originally manufactured by Micro Seiki for H.H. Scott.

It took me five years of searching to find two of these in excellent condition. I wanted two to make it worthwhile to build all-new plinths (the other one I have is quilted maple - check it out!)

This plinth is 100% handmade with a new MDF base covered in hand-cut RAW mappa burl veneer - not paper backed. Mappa burl, from the European poplar trees - Populus nigra. Finished in a multi-stage process, including the lettering.

Completely new base, custom-made for this ultra-rare model. The original was actually in near-perfect condition - this was a phenomenal donor table to make into a custom job. The interior was dust-free and looked like new when I opened it up.

New dust cover custom fabricated.

No expense or time spared to make this table as perfect as possible. I dare you to find a prettier table.

Fully cleaned, lubricated and adjusted. Tonearm lift lubed with 300,000 weight silicone dampening fluid.

Original spring-loaded rubber feet replaced with a three-piece custom setup - half inch sorbotane discs sit upon a billet aluminum foot, which sits on sorbothane rings. Sorbothane is the most vibration absorbent material money can buy for a turntable.

Functions work perfectly. All of them. Sounds amazing.

Fitted with an Audio Technica AT11 cartridge, wearing a brand-new elliptical 0.2 mil X 0.7 mil diamond stylus from LP Gear. Very musical, non-fatiguing and easy on the ears, pulls off difficult passages like sibilance, bells, bass drums, female vocals flawlessly. Love it.

I could go on and on about this table, but I think I'll just let the photos speak for themselves! Any questions, just ask.
