Absolutely correct. I have friends who hate bling but have commented on how much they love the look of my MK5g, even my daughter the other day without prompting, walked over to it and said 'Dad, I really like your turntable, it looks so cool' who am I to argueHa - 'in the flesh' it doesn't look blingy in the slightest!

Glad you are enjoying it dude. I guess you have put the Spendors on the backburner for now?
I'm still getting used to the 'neutrality' of my new AT33 PTG/II - amazing how much more detail it digs out of good recordings but then you realise how some recordings aren't quite as good as you thought they were ... But this is the price to pay for progress I guess!

Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
“Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".
“You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”
"You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”
“There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

Exactly Jules, Accuracy is something I love, accurate and revealing was the first time I really heard my system at it's best, when everything, all the upgrades etc had come together and it opened my eyes. Hearing what's really in those grooves, the genuine essence of each individual recording neither glossed over, sweetened, boogied, hefted, fruitened by way of inherent signature, I think you get my meaning. Some people cant get on with accurate and revealing because warts and all are presented where warts and all exist. Personally I love it, the individuality of each recording laid bare, getting inside, I just cant get enough - fabShe must have wanted something Rob!
