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 ?

That's the point. If that German table did everything "right" but you didn't want to listen to it because it sounded wrong to you, the table in fact did everything right except the most important thing we are talking about here.
Nandric, what a wonderful arrogance. What makes you think that you are capable of understanding any argument that I might present? Your posts both in this thread and others strongly suggest that it is a very unlikely event.
In addition, I am not talking about religion in a usual sense. We are trying to discuss the phenomenon which is not easily understood if at all. At least, I think, a sufficient number of posters agree that this phenomenon does exist. That's the beginning.
"BTW what is the reference of your word 'God'?"

This is an example of a group of english words that make no sense. And God and religion are two different things. God is a supreme being and religion is an organization created by man. When people of science speak of God, they are not talking about some guys running around the Middle East, or any of the 'holy' books. It's possible God does not know we even exist. Before you try to be nasty and cop an attitude, go somewhere and learn the language or send in your native tongue and we will translate on this end. I have no idea what you mean by 'reference' or 'sense'.
BTW, being an European I understand your hostility towards God. Faith is dead on your continent. You put your faith in socialism and man. Your history demonstrates the folly of this. Good thing the US Military still believes and is always ready and able to save your Atheist asses.
While talking about turntables, somehow we pushed in the background the fact that those turntables are designed and made by particular people.
Just as in ancient and not so ancient Japan, each Japanese sword made even by the same master was different, and as far as I know, those masters destroyed those swords that in their opinion didn't come out quite right, that's, had no soul. So in this sense I would say that there are no inanimate objects made by man, there is a certain transmission of something from man to created objects.
****The German table did everything right; it just had no soul****- Czapp

Yet, earlier in your post you state that the fact that you didn't want to listen to it, was an indication that something was wrong. It can't be both. Clearly, the Garrard is the better machine; it let's the soul in the recorded performances (emotion) be heard. Music, not machines, have soul.
Czapp: "The German table did everything right; it just had no soul."
How do you know it did EVERYTHING right? Is it because it is "extremely well reviewed"? Obviously, something is not right. If you can't quantify it, then it's rather hard to correct it... Well, you switched to a different turntable so, I guess, that solved the problem.
