Millennium is different - 1st of all, Pluto is a planet; 2nd, wife likes the look and has it in the living room; 3rd, the harpsichordic effect. Love that comment! Picked up my Millennium this fall, and my best friend and partner in music crime (a hardcore wood box fan) said when playing it for the first time "How is it that it sounds like this thing is in stereo?" Its the Harpsichordic effect! LOL |

I thought that when I checked it out at NAMM that the 1680 was a cross-weave CVT? It is cross-weave, but is also textured, as it is not covered in a thick layer of lacquer to make the top smooth (unlike the CVT and SMT models). In fact, unlike most textured top Adamaii, the 1680 appears to be totally unpainted, so technically, the top is probably (a few microns) thinner than a 1687. According to the Spec sheet, The Top is:
Adamas 2 * 2 Twill, Textured, Plywood Core
