Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH

Anyone read Fremer's review of the Grand Prix Monaco in the latest Stereophile?

Ouch that has to hurt. I am familar with the design of this table, and of course on paper it seems groundbreaking, but if I were in the market for a $20K table, (I'm not) this review would completely kill my interest in this seemingly stellar product.

Any other opinions?

(actually this is a great issue of Stereophile - lots of gear I am intersted in)

Dear Piedpiper: +++++ " VTA, loading, etc. should not change this once optimized in a truly reference system. " +++++

I agree but that never happen..

Regards and enjoy the music.

LOL! I guess the operative word is "should"!

believe me, I understand how to set up a turntable. The charge that somehow I got that wrong (which Mr. Lloyd obliquely accused me of) is ridiculous...

Jeezus! I tried numerous cartridges that I was quite familiar with. The results I got continually demonstrated the turntable's sonic character. PERIOD. What you're blathering here basically says that no reviews are valid by anyone....
