Some tables have soul and some not

****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.

Rok2id, This is an international forum with the custom not
to comment on grammar and English capability of the foreign members.Nor the native English speakers btw. 'Not done' as it is called. For the 'sense' and the 'reference' you should try Frege, the 'father' of the modern logic ('About sense and reference'). Your lack of education is 'visible' in nearly any sentence you wrote. Your and Inna's thoughts about Cern accelerator are typical in this context. For the relationship between religion and science you both should try Galileo.

Yes, it did everything right as in-
Deep, tight bass, mid range detail and extended highs that were free of grain and edge. Good prat, and a solidity to the overall presentation.
Yet....., it just wasn't captivating.
IMO the measure of a system, or a component, is how much it draws you in.
If it doesn't do that, then what is the point.

Inna,
I played the Miles Davis "In a Silent Way" Master Copy on the Studer A820 this weekend. My friend from Paris was somehow impressed how it sounds on Tape. Natural was his first word. Also Classical Master Copies sound pretty good but I don't own many. Maybe we could ask "some RTRs have soul some not?"

best & fun only
