Lexicon RT-20 ... Interesting lack of information

Thanks to Pete for bring this player to my attention, because it is certainly NOT well documented.
Which leads me to a few questions about this player ...

#1- Why would a player that originally sold new for $5000 now sell new for $1000 ???

#2- If it was a truly great $5000 player that is now a virtual steal, why doesn't EVERYONE use it ???

#3- Does anyone find it interesting that none of the major magazine publications reviewed it ? ie; Stereophile, Absolute Sound, Hi Fi + ... ect ?

Don't get me wrong. I'm certainly not being rude with these questions. This is just the questions that came to my mind after doing some research on this product.

Sure makes me wonder how this player would stack up against players like the Cambridge 840C and the Marantz 8001 .... Too bad there's no articles comparing them.

Lack of info is indifferent. Many products aren't covered. Look here for the usual boring review of the Lexicon.
You are being sarcastic suggesting that there is little info about this product because it ain't worth writing about; fact supported by its heavy loss in resale value; furthermore by the fact that even at its present low asking price, people aren't killing each other to purchase samples; so bad, in fact, that none of the prestigious publications wished to waste time reviewing it...

Possibly.

OTOH you could have just said that, IYO, it's a player with proven zero value and most probably an excremental performer to boot. Regards

T:
For $900+,it is a solid performer with very good CD sound and the same on DVDs
My opinion too.
HOWEVER, you will be buying another player in ¬2yrs time cause, no b-ray.
More to discover
