Talking with Soundline yesterday and it appears that a new MKIV version of the much loved Dynavector P75 isn't too far away. No specs at this stage.
Speculation with a fair degree of accuracy for a new NZ made TT be be announced very soon.

If it's a soundline thing my bet would be on some iteration of a well tempered but with a natural wood plinth (maybe Rimu or Swamp Kauri), named after a native NZ bird ?
Unlikely IMO to be a remanufactured Aura. Q. Were LP12's ever made here, or were they just assembled with the Rimu plinths ?

TT is nothing to do with Soundline. If I'm correct you'll have to move a bit further south.

Well knowing that you have been talking with Simon recently, that does sound interesting. (or would if I had any funds to buy another TT)

You've funds aplenty! All you have to do is sell herself on polished wooden floors over carpet. I mean really, how many times will she dig her toes into that new carpet and sigh the sigh of a contented woman before the first spilled drink ruins the whole thing for her anyway?

I'd expect an announcement to perhaps tie in with the Munich show.
Sorry JH but a new TT is not on my wish list at this stage. The tables that populate my winning Lotto dreams start around $20,000 and head into the clouds. In reality my ambitions are much more modest.

Actually cooks I think JH comment was directed at me and my ongoing money pit of renovations. He also knows that I have no great desire to buy another table, much as I dislike my current one.

Possibly available at the end of the year, Check Design Build Listen Facebook page for updates.
I believe a prototype may be shown at the current Munich show so it'll be interesting to see what shows up in reports.
