Wrm I've never compared these 2 Brinkmann's sorry.I personnally feel a plinthless design will cause less conerns IMHO.

Thanks, Sksos1. I know what you mean.

"As always, people in the 'audio know' confuse price with the 'better' word. One has nothing to do with the other. Don't even mention the word 'worth' as that is a very subjective judgement and is wholly depending on each persons bank balance. "

If that's the case they than how do you explain the original post? 2 turntables made by the same company, with 1 costing 3x the other yet they still end up in the A category?

Where's the conflict? If price is no indicator of performance, then two tt's with a 3X differential in cost might both be worthy of a class A rating, not that I would recommend for a second that anyone should go by the S'phile listings.

The other thing is that there is tons of amazing equipment out there that never receives a SP rating, so using the list is highly restrictive. The list might be better titled Stereophile class GEBHAB "Good Equipment Backed by High Advertising Budgets".
