New product priced far too low to gain credibility?

Nice one, Jerry! Always nice to hear of this type of gear, as it fulfils the AoS ethos of maximum SPPV!

I don't see the 12 remaining lasting for too much longer

You get nothing for your money these days but crap imho. I'd rather buy something old & well built second hand & put up with what people call 'Long In The Tooth'.. Makes me feel good saves me loads of dosh & lasts twice as long.

If not longer

Yep, i'm with you Andre. Things definately are no way built like they used to be & it doesn't matter what it is you are talking about. I have an old Electrolux cylinder vacuum cleaner that my parents bought before i was born & it still works fine & has never needed the brushes changing. It gets used by me quite a bit when woodworking etc. Must be near on 50 years old

I know people that have gone through 3 or 4 Dysons

How old are they....

It's the same with audio equipment, the older stuff was better built. There is just no two ways about it

It's been suggested that I should set myself up as a Turntable Guru, but it would be a long way for people to travel. Our very local Naim dealer has a huge majority of clients well away from here and outside the county... Whether they travel or mail order I don't know.

Quite right.

You should take in turntables for setting up, service and repairs. No one knows more than you about the subject and you would do the job far better and cheaper than most of the professional 'experts' out there.

I say - go for it and do everyone a favour....

What's to 'set-up' or 'service' on a Techie?

Folk will faff around with bloody belts and bouncy suspensions!

Dysons are expensive foreign built rubbish - I don't why people think so highly of them.

The power of a big advertising budget
