Am I a hopeless audio snob?

I think that I may have a problem, I am becoming an audio snob.  

I am going to upgrade my turntable and spend some good money. I read good things about Technics turntables but for some reason I can't take them seriously. From a few feet away, a $4000 Technics plus rig looks like a $400 Technics rig. They look cheesy to me. Low tech 1980's stuff.

I am plunking down some serious money on my next table, but I can't even consider Technics because of the looks. 

I think that I need help!

Technics new tables are excellent. Especially for the cash.

Wont win you the envy of friends and local audiophiles though.

Consider me a convert! I had a chance to hear a SL-1200G-S and it is very nice indeed. My apologies for the manner in which I started this thread, but I sure did get some good feedback.

I have an old JVC QL-F6 which looks just like the Japanese DDs everyone loves to despise. Only thing is it‘s a stonking good tt that has left a few jaws on the floor. It‘s real fun to see the look of revulsion turn into a WTF?
