I really missed the point of the good posters effort. All that non turn table stuff could have been left to another time, rather than possibly detract from another's happiness. I wasn't trying to rain on the parade, But I guess I couldn't see past my own ego. I wanted to run my mouth before I had much to say about what the poster was doing.

To me. the real key to the poster's review is the emotional strength of the product. Emotion is the unifying key of great human experience. Yet few talk about this needed ability in a turntable. How do you build emotion into a product? I don't know , but that's why I listen to music.

And the ability to transmit emotion is the reason why I kept my old player. If the new table couldn't make me cry, well, I had just wasted my money.

I'm not talking about showing up at a Hi Fi show and having a bunch of guys sobbing into their handkerchiefs like they had just made football illegal. I'm talking about that moment where the thing you love speaks to you, to paraphrase Winston Churchill.

This guy bought a playback mechanism that can bring the emotion of music into play. Besides being an interesting concept and execution. I'd like to hear it myself, I don't care if it was made on the moon. Valid products always have an intrinsic merit that justifies their existence.
