Albert Porter in Houston is the importer for Allnic Audio. He has more vinyl than imaginable. It is good stuff, and crazy expensive. Those amps, pre, DAC, and phono stage are probably around $125k.

The table looks to be a custom plinth with a Technics SP-10 Mk.3 with SME 312 tonearms...probably about $40k for that.

The speakers are around $85k.

So around $250k+ for the entire rig, depending on cabling and accessories.

We sessioned them with Albert. He's a cool guy. He drove to my friend's house to make sure everything was fine with the amps. Allnic custom wound the transformers for my friend's input voltage (~125V), and Albert was on the phone with guy in Korea to give him feedback on the condition of them post shipping. We opened both the M5000s up and inspected them, fiddled with the delay circuitry a bit on one.

Hopefully Albert can get some clients in NOLA, could meet up for dinner when he's down. Love to make it to Dallas to hear his field coils, just his speakers are ~$225k (retail, which I'm sure he doesn't pay...still). Drives them with these same amps.

Apparently the motor controller on the turntable is a modern bit of circuitry that's a somewhat tricky, but it's serviced in the US so that makes it easy.
