Some tables have soul and some not

Syntax, you made my day. That is hilarious. Perhaps that guy's soul went to heaven.

I think you (Inna) are conflating "soul" with what Harry Pearson first called a "dark" sound. And having owned a Notts Hyperspace, I can agree that on that basis the Notts had soul. I am going to guess that tt's with big heavy platters and belt drive, especially where the belt is rubber or anything with compliance, will be said to have soul. This is NOT a bad thing, IMO. On the other hand, I would say that, comparing my Kenwood L07D to my Technics SP10 Mk3 (two very fine direct-drive tts with rather heavy platters, as dd tables go), the L07D has more soul than does the Mk3. Maybe core-less motors (a la the L07D) also tend toward soulful sounds. And this topic is NOT worth 6000 posts, Nikola.

Check with manufacturer if their line of pruduct had been blessed by pope, rabby or calif to find out precisely if it does.

Marakanetz, I am very disapointed that you totally overlooked the central committee of the communist party (wherevere).

Syntax,

I did not know you where into rim drive tables.

I think that guy needed a bit more tracking force.
