"Giant Killer". That's what they said about Rega tables when they first appeared. People are going to value things largely upon what they cost. It's just perception. Nobody is going to dump their $5000 VPI Wonder and go buy a Schitt table. Not gonna happen. Not that the Schitt isn't a good value or a good table, but the perception of its merits will be based upon pricing.
Besides, it's almost impossible to properly compare two different tables. Many buy their tables and arms separately. The cartridge that is best for the $5000 VPI Wonder may not mate well in the Schitt arm and vice versa.
Ultimately Schitt buyers will be looking in their price range of around $1000.
Last year I sold an ancient Linn LP12, with a Rega RB300 arm, for $1100. It was a solid table. Would you rather have a Linn or a Schitt?
