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 ?

Dear Rok2id, We obviously agree regarding 'the soul' in the TT's. In my first comment I stated that the problem with metaphors is the fact that everyone has his own interpretation. Your position is that inanimate objects like TT's have no soul. But you assume that living objects like humans do . My position is physicalistic
also in this regard. There is nothing 'extra physical' in
our brain. Regarding the theories the situation is much more complex. There is no way to forbid onyone not to believe in some theory, no matter what. But there is also
a conception of the truth which is independant of us. Ie
something is true or false independant of us. Ie if we know that something is true or false.I am not sure but I think that this is the Kantian conception of truth.

Regards,
"They have no soul, turntables are not 'voiced' to do anything except play LPs"

Actually that's not correct. No component is perfect and any finished component represents a series of design compromises that have been chosen by the designer. The designers choice of compromises may reflect their preferences or priorities in the presentation of musical playback, which one could argue that gives you some insight into their "heart and soul".
"Actually that's not correct"
Actually that is correct.

"No component is perfect and any finished component represents a series of design compromises that have been chosen by the designer. "

Other than stating the obvious, what does that statement mean in the context of the question at hand?

or to make it simple explain the difference between a Jazz turntable and a classical turntable and a country TT you get my drift? how are they different? TTs might be different based on price point, but that has nothing to do with music types. I assume we are excluding children's toys
I think, that in a somewhat simplified way Orpheus10 got it right.
Rok2id, thank you for calling me stupid and for your active participation.
Nandric, I am glad that you took us in the direction of God particle, or Higgs boson. What Europeans, and Americans by the way, do in their efforts to find it, is the most ridiculous, expensive and potentially very dangerous thing I've ever heard about. They want to f... with God without a slightest idea of the consequences. Not to mention without the slightest idea of what God might "think" of it. Such idiots. Every particle or whatever is God particle.
"Rok2id, thank you for calling me stupid and for your active participation"

And I did this when and how?

as far as the Higgs thingy, there is the slightest potential they will create a black hole and swallow France. So it ain't all bad.
