Japanese uber-turntable manufacturer has unveiled the Air Force Zero in Tokyo last Saturday 16th. In the UK it will be distributed by Absolute Sounds. Take a look at the spec’ we have so far and a couple of pics. The Air Force Zero promises to be bigger, better and more expensive than anything that the company has produced so far, though the current top-of-the-range Air Force One Premium Titanium is £129,000, and the Zero will clearly cost more than that!
