Hate to rain on your parade - and this is a beautiful piece no doubt - but today's turntable Chinese or not play better...much, much better.

Although I am yet to see a Chinese turntable, unless you count Technics and such that were built in Taiwan when they still were building turntables for playing music and not just for DJs manually rotating the records. I own one. You can not even start to compare.
Let's not confuse the preservation and nostalgia with the real performance. Technology improved and yes became cheap. Does not mean it is bad. Chinese or not. (and yes there are bad Chinese goods...many of them).
