The Amadeus bearing has zero clearance and damping for un-rivalled performance. The tone-arm is constructed with a golf ball partially immersed in high viscosity silicone fluid. Golf balls are very precisely made and are well-suited for this application. The degree of damping is adjustable.

Its on par with a Sondek
And I'd break that in about 5 mins

It’s the Schroeder arm, really nice design. There’s a massive thread on it on the diy audio forum where people tried to make it and the man himself chipped in helping people to make their own.

I'm sure it sounds great, but it looks super fiddly. I'd be on the lookout for vintage SME, EMT, jelco and ortofon tonearms. For newer ones, Schroeder, Abis/Sorane, audio creative.

Yes, I have a WTL Simplex (with Dynavector DV 10X5) paired to Naim Uniti Nova and Neat SX2 speakers, this was a step up from a Linn Basik turntable with some upgrades. Audibly so.
It doesn't feel fiddly at all, although the hair-thin (and just knotted together) drive 'belt' keeps amazing me. And the build quality is good although it has a bit of a DIY feel to it, compared to more robust turntables like a Thorens or LP12.
