Schiit Sol turntable owners out there?

This is what you like? 

This school of design is what I don't like, unfortunately so many modern belt drive turntables are like this 

And this is a proper design of belt drive turntables from the past:

No doubt, I will probably end up owning more than one TT. I have to admit, I like the idea of getting something to sound it's best. OTOH, I also like to be able to just sit back and listen to a good recording. Mood dependant I guess.

I am pretty sure that I saw Jason from Schitt on youtube stating that the Sol will be discontinued. It may have been on audiophiliac's channel. Jason is incredibly candid discussing supply chain issues, etc. It's cool that they are proactively adapting what they do based on parts availability and related challenges. Too many other just take your money and tell you to wait.

A shame as the Sol had a lot of promise for aspiring vinylistas. Cheers,

Spencer
