The Poly Table just received The Absolute Sound's "Budget Product of the Year Award" for 2015!!
Here's what Michael Fremer had to say in Stereophile's August 2016 Issue:
“The PolyTable was a neat miracle of rhythm ‘n pace excellence, tonal neutrality, image stability, and just plain honest listening pleasure.”
“This combination produced the kind of smooth, effortless, “tinkly free” musical flow, three-dimensional spaciousness, and mid-band richness that are attractive to those of any age who love music played from vinyl.”
“This table’s image stability and soundstaging abilities were remarkable for a turntable at any price.”
“The PolyTable was also very quiet, with very low background noise”
“but the transients are so beautifully reproduced by this relatively inexpensive combo – as are Jones’ drums – and the stage is so three-dimensional and finely set, I’m good! “
“At $1695.00 including the Jelco SA-750D, the GEM Dandy PolyTable is easy to recommend.”
"I’d give up a bit on the bottom end to get this table’s entertaining drive. I didn’t want to turn it off.”
Here's what Julie Mullen of TAS had to say about the table:
"With this setup, I spun so many records across so many genres that I have a hard time culling examples."
"If you’re an analog lover who doesn’t have a big living space and/or a big budget, this high-value, small-footprint, belt-driven turntable could be just your ticket. From setup to playback to overall musical enjoyment, I found the PolyTable to be a delight in every way."
"With both the mm and mc cartridges I tried, the PolyTable delivered serious analog pleasure worthy of far bigger bucks. A gem, indeed."
Record Collector News in May just said:
"The Poly Table is George’s $1,500 true high performance turntable" "and it looks and sounds awsome"
"The PolyTable has something going for it. Look for the PolyTable as well as the Merrill-Williams 101.2 turntables at THE Show Newport this June 3,4,5. or Rocky Mountain Audio Fest or at George Merrill’s website, www.hifigem.com. I really don’t think you can go wrong. I have to make this turntable mine."
