For comparison, this was the last REVOX turntable from 1986, the REVOX B291:

Quartz speed-controlled direct-drive with infrared remote control, linear-tracking tonearm, automatic record diameter detection (stylus start detection), pneumatically-damped stylus lowering.

new one looks familiar, did clearaudio oem it ?

pll belt drive is interesting but the rest looks boring

they should have re-issued the B291

So you have to lift it up to get at the loading switches underneath ? Apart from that I like the simplicity of the design and its unfussiness.

Who is this aimed at ?

The built-in phono/turn-key approach suggests the B+O/Bose lifestyle crowd but they won't know what to do with a manual tonearm, let alone the setup options.
