Buddy Marc seems to be a bit uptight. :eyebrows:
Perhaps a quick wank and a bit of Led Zeppelin would be the medicine he needs!! :lolsign:

Well jizza phillip's comments about 1200 user's never having owned or dared listen too a decent belt drive are ridiculous , a fair few ex linnie's on here , myself included , perhaps i should scour ebay for a good used P3 and put it to the test !
S'ok, Chris, I've done it recently at a mate's house. The P3 lost royally!
We'd probably need a stock Techie to make the test fair, though.
Old Marc-y boy also seems like one of those types who needs a double-blind test to prove he's got a dick between his legs! :eyebrows:

Then I watched a youtube video recently where someone had change the stock belt for the "white" belt. He raves on the video with an "oh yeah!". He was playing Jimi's Band of Gypsies. It just so happens that I had blasted that for my son the weekend prior, on one of my 1200's. The Rega was blatantly running fast... even with this new improved belt which is supposed to stabilize and correct the speed issue (and how exactly would it do that if the inside diameter hasn't changed??. What am I missing?) :scratch: Maybe, it's just me. I would be upset at those who keep deriding the 1200 just for the sake of selling their own product or simply for the heck of it. But, every now and again we all need a good laugh.
The funny thing is that now some (not all) of those who bashed the 1200 for being a cheap dj table (but wanted to "test" one out ;) )... can't afford one, :lolsign: :lol: :lolsign: much less, mod one.
I think the boy may be a bit of a specialist...
which has always been the point of "The Vinyl Anachronist."
...it's bad enough assuming some trumped up name, but then to refer to oneself in the third person by it, is a bit worrying.
Delusions of grandiour....Oh no,no,no :lol:
Indeed - I think he's more 'special needs', than a specialist! ;)

Seriously now, our friend Marc acts moar like an uptight and anal-retentive little bitch than a true hi-fi/high end reviewer and he wouldn't look out of place in Encyclopedia Dramatica.
LOL! Well, I don't know what I'm listening to, then. I just love absolutist comments like that, where he leaves himself nowhere to back down. File under 'bin'.Quote:
"All of you who still think records are noisy, and that they pop and click too much ... you were probably listening on a direct-drive turntable."
Marc and I are becoming good buddies now. Does anyone want to see the last email he's sent me? I promise it's a cracker! :lol:
Marco.
Ooh, go on!
