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 vol.20 no.10, page 71, 73)
