BEST TURNTABLE AT COST NO OBJECT

OK! sounda'ttorney.. I also own the LA-PLATINE, and its sooo special. I wouldn't say its "the best" but i have owned and listened to many, and the VERDIER is right-on. This is the last table i'll ever buy. is it imported in the USofA ? What i absolutely cannot get is that people walk away with the silly wooden shoobox LINN LP 12 thing... I have heard this bouncy table soo many times, in so many setups,and it sounds like a cheapo DUAL player . What a joke to have to buy so many upgrades every time... If a table is designed properly it will not need upgrades every year to get it going finally.. I must admit that the marketing dept at LINN does their job. they sell a lot of boxes... Enjoy the music .

I have a Goldmund Studio with original triplanar and Koetsu Onix, this is a very special combo but no in this league. My next TT could be La Pletine Verdier or a Thorens Prestige, both very very special. They are beside the best...

The August 2000 issue of Stereophile has a review of the Rockport Technologies System 111 Sirius Turntable and Tonearm.Michael Fremer describes the table/arm as laughably better in every way than any table he has heard.I have been told Fremer can get carried away at times but the review sure made it sound like the ultimate.Fremer commented if he and 9 other readers were to order one they would get a nice discount.He also "jokingly"asked for donations from readers to help him finance a table.I hope no one sends him money.Send it to ME so I can finally afford a MINT MOFI copy of "CRIME OF THE CENTURY!"

But David, Mike does more to influence more people into taking an interest in vinyl, than you do. He's extremely important. Not that anyone should donate anything to him, that's absurd; he gets too many perks anyway. But his writing is very important. He's far more objective than anyone else at that magazine nowadays, for whatever that's worth...not much, I guess.

Carl,you are very right about him,but he does get carried away.When I get my Mag.I always go right to "analog corner"Its getting to the point thats the ONLY section I enjoy.Probably the only reason I will renew my subscription next month.
