Some tables have soul and some not


Why is that? Do you think it is always very subjective?
Say, Nottingham Spacedeck does have it and SME does not even if in some respects SME can be called a better or depending on model much better table.
Thoughts, opinions, name callings ?

Thanks, Marakanetz. The Violektric phono stage looks pretty cool. There is some possible ambiguity in the product description, but it does seem to be truly a balanced circuit. Other true balanced phono stages include Atma-sphere MP1 and MP3, Ayre p5Xe, BAT phono stages, Hagerman Trumpet, K&K, VSE RTP3, and probably more that do not come to mind at the moment. I wonder if Violektric supply a phono cable terminated with the male version of that 5-pin connection.
Yup,
Stretching the budget for this upgrade. Choice of cartridges with such phono is unlimited and my hands are itching to rewire tonearm to 5-pin stereo-balanced.

I've also heard that 5-pin stereo-balanced interface transfers sole(from turntable) to components in the chain much more efficient and with less jitter and shorter length errors than RCA unbalanced:)

Agree.

So to them there's no soul in classical music but the same people are able to find soul in a freakin' TURNTABLE?!!
