Got an interesting message from someone who got an invitation to listen to a ClearAudio Statement Turntable ($165.000,--). He was interested to buy it from the owner. He brought a Sutherland Timeline for Speed Test and it was a Disaster. Totally out of right speed and no matter what both tried for hours, no way to adjust the Turntable for proper speed (33⅓) ...(May I add that my old Micro with the Timeline holds the speed that I can hammer a nail into the wall and the laser always get it right, checked it yesterday again after getting the mail).
To say it very mildly, the owner was very unhappy. But after some days he thinks that the Timeline is crap :-)
[The only way to survive the days with that "Statement"]
Anyway, no deal.
And the next what amazed my writer, this expensive State-Of-The-Art Turntable is extremely sensitive to all kind of vibrations. He wrote, when music was playing and he walked around in the room, he was able to hear the footsteps through the speakers (Walking in the area of the Rack).
That is a product which is recommended from Mags all over the Planet, Stereophile Class A and so on :-)
Sometimes I ask myself, what would happen when a Turntable can do everything right and is only $10.000,--
I guess, I know the answer
