well you can have your "its all a big marketing scam and my $1000 turntable is as good as the best in the world" fantasy, but the reality is that the very best SOUNDING tonearms, turntables, and cartridges are not available or possible at that low a total price. What you are failing to do is understand that to make things audibly better, sometimes its takes a lot of money for the solution and even more importantly, its obvious that you have never actually auditioned a really high end turntable, because if you had you wouldn't be assuming they sound just like a $1000 setup, they DON'T. They are better, and they are hideously more money than $1000 total.

John, that's just crap, of course one would hope that more $$$ in gear would equate to improved resolution/fidelity but it's not a rule. At that level for most people it's just another way to say look at me, look at what I have, look at what I can afford, the repro fidelity is secondary. A bit of ABX testing would sort out a lot of the BS that goes on in the ultra-hifi circles, of course most "golden eared" folk won't go near ABX testing just in case. Just my humble opinion (to which I'm also entitled). -- Rob Studdert (Digital Image Studio) Tel: +61-418-166-870 UTC +10 Hours Gmail, eBay, Skype, Twitter, Facebook, Picasa: distudio -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
