GEM Dandy PolyTable Turntable Preview

See the complete review of the GEM Dandy PolyTable Turntable

The “GEM” in GEM Dandy is none other than analog guru George E. Merrill who has been a fixture in the hi-fi business since the early 1970s. During that time, in addition to operating his hi-fi retail operation in Memphis, he has designed, modified, and repaired turntables.

The idea behind the PolyTable is a true high performance at an affordable price. Easy to say, hard to do. The look and feel of the PolyTable is very unorthodox. While it is a belt driven design, it appears made almost entirely from plastic. It is designed that way in order to achieve a resonance frequency below that of recorded sound. In basic configuration, the PolyTable comes with a Jelco 9-inch tonearm and costs $1595. There are several arm upgrade options available as well as an optional digital motor drive. All PolyTables are designed and manufactured in the USA. PolyTables do not include pre-installed cartridges. The review version features a Jelco 10-inch tonearm and the optional motor drive which brings the retail price to $2685.
