I would like to note that my disagreement with David about his and other justification of TT high price does not imply that some of high price TT are very good performers, and it is highly possible that the new Micro AF1 is a very good sounding TT, in fact it would be a big surprise if it would not be. What I was taking was not the nature of turntables but rather our relationship with turntables or our completely voluntary subscription that "better" designed tenable produce some kind of advantageous empirical benefit for our listening experience.

A few weeks back I was reading at some kind of site, I do not remember where, a review about a new German turntable with price tag of $45K. It looks like lucid TT of mid class. The $45K was the price before some whore of Mike Framer stature take it to distribute worldwide and jack the price to $125K. However, the point us that it was absolutely gloving review with worshiping how much this TT sound better then anything that the reviewer have tried before and of cause the reviewer attributed the  superb sonic performances of the TT to materials, precision and other casual suspects. I do not question the reviewer's concussions but I very much question the reviewer judgment and sanity. It was a guy with relatively large room, I would say 600 sq foot approximately with  a single pair of 2A3 driving back-loaded single yellow driver speaker. I honestly feel that it is ridicules to observe the performance of a good TT in context of this installation. I do not say that the guy would not be able to knowledge difference but I do insist that the difference that he would even register will not have any beneficial value from the perspective of listening experience.
