I am borrowing it! it is obscenely expensive and probably only makes sense fro dealers (or the obsessives...). it is software, basically. it needs a soundcard/phonostage thing and a dongle.
having decided to step off the upgrade mery-go-round, i figured i could play with this to get it set up and have a bit of nerd fun. it is a bit full on, though and could take several hours.
i have a quad vena 2 here that turned up with the on/on switch at the back broken, which is a bit of a pain, as it broke in the off position. i am thinking about putting the tradford and all the gubbind in the loft until the one year old is not on trash mode all the time.

Great that you get to try it anyway. It does seem pitched at the obsessive turntablist. I'm not quite in that group (luckily for me).
I'm not sure just how transformational the perfect setup could be given the quality of the 'best' modern releases, stuff like the mofi one step pressings are still not 'perfect'.
I do understand the desire to know that the rig is really well setup though.

Just had a look at their introductory video. They don't really show the product! I'm assuming it's expensive if the costs are not being discussed upfront.
I use a template, scale and test record but it's like a whole other part of turntable ownership that can become the biggest deal. When I looked into it I felt like some people spend their whole time setting up their record deck just to play a relatively small selection of music.
