Schitt turntable anyone?

@cleander the problem with schiit is their products are lacking in quality of parts and engineering. You can’t expect audiophile grade gear on a Walmart budget. You are free to go against conventional wisdom of course. That is why there are marginal products of every kind, to suit people who must be different. 

I am not seeing any anecdotal evidence in your post. Just more generalizations.

Show me where they lack in quality of parts. Show me where they lack in engineering.

I’m just not understanding where you’re at here. Did they stiff you in some way with a product? Did one of their engineers give you a bogus explanation or told you that you were full of crap?

And how much is too cheap? Seems to me that your biased against a company because you don’t accept their pricing model. If they sold their products via a distributor and dealer network, then their retail product costs to the consumer would be typically 200%-300% more than selling direct. 
 
The only Q is whether laying out $1500 to $2100 for a Sol turntable via a distribution & dealer network somehow alleviates these alleged concerns simply because the price seems more in line with other “retail” products of similar kind. 

@celander you do not understand how vertical marketing works. Schiit is worth what it sells for, not a penny more. 

There is evidence of sub-par build quality and engineering, on head-case. If you choose to be a fanboy, this won't matter to you anyways. That said I owned a Yggdrasil and enjoyed it.

Well, I used to be in high end audio retail at the dealer level. I’m pretty confident I grasp markups and the like.
