A woman's
touch in audio: One of the most beautiful turntables in the world:
The Judy Spotheim turntable and SPJ arm from Holland. (Steve
Rochlin: Ultimate Audio, page 13, august 1997)
While both
the Delphi and the Clearaudio are stunners, perhaps the most mesmerising-looking
and impressive-sounding turntable at the Show was Judy Spotheim's
La-Luce - a crystal cathedral of analogue fabricated from transparent
acrylic. George Cardas, no analogue slouch, brought his personal
turntable to the Show, so impressed is he with the sound. Spotheim,
an Israeli native living in the Netherlands, is a true audio eccentric.

Sponsored
by The Audio Gallery, a local shop, the Spotheim SpJ turntable
and arm - fitted with Cardas Heart cartridge, combined with BAT
electronics, Cardas Golden Cross cabling, the mammoth Dunlavy
SC-V loudspeakers, Black Diamond Racing Shelves and Cones, and
Equi=Tech Balanced Power Conditioners - produced some of the best
sound I heard at the Show. (Micheal Fremer: Stereophile
vol.20 no. 9, page 73)
The room
featuring big Dunlavy SX-V speakers ... and B.A.T. electronics
also held the mesmerising SpJ arm and turntable. This vinyl-spinning
wonder seemed to beckon to our man Charlie, drawing him like a
moth to the glow of a 211 power tube - in fact, we thought we'd
lost him. The SpJ table, with its thick, clear acrylic platter,
metal cylinders embedded within it like stacks of quarters, was
a hypnotic sight. Eventually Charlie stopped staring and staggered,
still stunned out. (Lonnie Brownell & Richard Rosen: Stereophile
