For anyone who might not know , a Rolex and Bugatti are not worth it .
20,000 kids die of starvation every day .

They are certainly worth it to those who buy them. Or do you think everyone should subscribe to your values and beliefs?

20,000 kids die of starvation every day .

Logical fallacy, non-sequitur.

nkonor and ctsooner, I just backed up and read your posts. Hang in there. There are new biologics coming out every day. Medicine will figure it out.
In the mean while I have several disabled patients I take care of at home. One was a music teach at a local high school. He has Becker's muscular distrophy. He is set up with an Apple Mini and a 6 TB hard drive connected to a 75" TV. He can buy high res files on line and play any music he wants right from his wheel chair. One night we loaded all his CDs into the hard drive for him. No it is not a turntable and it is digital but quite a few of the high res files are better than their vinyl counterparts more than likely due to different mastering. Some of these files will definitely drop your chin.

Rip off is kind of harsh. Maybe because you’re not enamored with the visual aspects of the Basis turntables? Sometimes it’s a trade off or compromise. I can’t comment on the sound of the Basis turntables or their build quality but I would believe the poster’s comments on here that they are indeed fine turntables and you could probably find a used one for a good price.
Of course the ultimate goal is the sound quality. I’m sure you can find a table that sounds good and pleases you visually too.
To me, the Basis tables are little boring visually.
What’s more important, looks or sound? Or, must you have both? That’s the goal for me. It has to be both unless the deal is too good to pass up. Then, I would settle for just sounding good and can live with the looks.
