The Montegiro Lusso is one of most beautiful and expensive turntable I've seen. This piece of art is built upon alternate polished layers of aluminum and black acrylic, including the upside -down cone for the aluminum platter fitted with an acrylic platter. The turntable is driven by a newly developed, extremely precise high-end synchronous motor suspended within one of the cones. The cones, connected to each other, embrace height-adjustable feet that serve for perfect set-up. Even the carbon tonearm, mounted on a cone, demonstrates attention to detail and style.

Prices start at $47,000 for the "basic configuration" which consists of a 10" carbon arm from Da Vinci (model Nobile), and the MG1 from the Montegiro family, a state-of-the-art pickup-system from titanium. The top-of-the-line model with four cones includes a 9" SME, model 5009 tonearm.
