Dear Syntax, I do love you but disagree about the 'price
issue'. A 'friendly' price will not improve a component
but it feels great.But the price can also hurt. You just bought a tonearm for, say, $ 5000 and then read the next
day in your own forum from your own comember that you actualy bought crap. Even worst. You got your slate plinth,
polished the beauty for two weeks in your garage and even
used some exotic oil to get this greenesh glow ... You don't even need a LP to enjoy your new toy . But then come
some Aussie from some developing country to tell you that
a plinthless TT on 3 spikes a $ 5 each (=$15) sounds much
better. You would wish that this guy lives next door...
While Freud is dismissed in scientific sence all mechanism
that he was talking about start to work. More in particular
the denial: 'Are you serieus? Ever heard about Newton?Where,if I may ask, am I supposed to put my tonearm'? 'In the other galleon perhaps'?
Some chess master put it this way:' a human needs a valve'.
He meant this in the context of an awkward chess position
but I think that this may be valid in general.
So, dear Syntax , being objective or rational is fine but not all the time.
Regards,
