Some tables have soul and some not


Why is that? Do you think it is always very subjective?
Say, Nottingham Spacedeck does have it and SME does not even if in some respects SME can be called a better or depending on model much better table.
Thoughts, opinions, name callings ?

I had direct experience with a black table purchased to see what all the chat was about, believing this chat it would float the music like a butterfly but instead it stung like a bee.

Inna you need cable risers? I retired from Hydro One and can get you special audiophile select cryogenic treated risers with custom soul paint job for 20 % discount. Audiophiles that use them report a living presnts to their music.
Some of Syntax's comment's are like a bran muffin for the brain.

If my memory is correct Linn Ittok was Harry Person's reference for sometime earning back then the magazines pregidous 4 out of 5 star rating while tables like for example the Micro Seiki RX 5000 including other all out designs during that time period were briefly mentioned included with criticism.

Mass loaded designs were not in favour and none of the Micro Seiki's were ever reviewed as far as I can remember.
During the early 1980s sales of the Linn skyrocketed with Harry's praises up until some of the writers of TAS including some owners found glaring fault's with the Linn which some were voiced in letters to the editor.
No social media back then to voice your opinion or read others not like today but sometimes the forest is just full of tree's.
HiHo other mid to late 1970s mass loaded designs, Melco including the Final Labs Parthenon from what I understand is a sophisticated advanced design for it's time also from the 1970s. Either ignored or mis-used by TAS if they ever had one to test. Instead the LP12 reins supreme at Sea Cliff during this time period.

Briefly more about the Final Labs member Dover uses one and I think Johnathan Carr of Lyra fame also has one if i'm not mistaken.
Topclass audio have some Melcos and currant production? Final Labs for sale if anyone want to buy one or two.
Audiofeil and Frogman, Innas thread is a refreshing distraction while Audiogon is in Beta mode^->

Rok2id I find many of your comments of WorldWar History not so accurate.
Hey it's not your fault and PLEASE don't rush to any rash conclusions I can't help you.
Rok2id I would rather talk about one of my favorite rifles instead.
Romania manufactured during the Cold War era this AK47 is beautifully made of that regions high quality steel, it has reliability and ruggedness to the extreme,and very comfortable to fire. It travels with me in remote Canada.

I found humour in your comment with your discription progressing from a worm, Dutch scum to Frenchman then to mountain Serbian, Now I don't know why you reacted the way you did with me as opposed to someone referring to you as a worm and Dutch scum,...is a little much don't you think?

Your reaction to my comment about straining your neck that Dutch people are tall, well they are! and very tall at that.
You think I was insulting you somehow?? WOW

My wife is Dutch and she stands 6 feet and when we are in the Netherlands visiting her family, it's like the land of the giants all around you.

Nadric good for you, your moving up the evolution scale however some may out of prejudice and pure ignorance will view you never reaching the status that of an American, but I doubt this would bother you. May I ask when you made the Netherlands your new home did you get neck strains looking up at all those tall people?

Roc, not accurate,you being American it's just your comments and views of other nations and their peoples are typically skewed and misinformed.
What I mean by typical American knowledge of World history and geography, it's blatantly evident it's not your strong point for many of you.

Google "Rick Mercer Talking to Americans" including a folly of episodes of interviews with George Bush even educated? university professors including students signing a petition stopping the Polar Bear hunt in Toronto, just for an example.

Don't take offence we Canadians like to poke harmless fun at Americans because of our own personal experiences and the examples with Rick Mercer.
You being in the military you maybe interested to know your and my citizen history going back to the American Civil War including every other conflict,we are freely to cross boarders to sign up.

Inna, I have never had to use my AK on some threatening animal so far, the ak is compact with a modified folding stock and fits nicely into a back pack.
On remote fishing trips when the float plane drops us off in the middle of no where for a week, the AK is a comfort to have.

The old adage, it's best to have a gun and not need it then to need a gun and not have one.
Roc,
You mention above the conscientious of the civilian population in war torn Europe during that time, really? is that a fact.
Blow a little harder, you should actually have conversations with a verity of nationals including veterans of both sides to get an inkling of the mind set and times.

Have you watched Rick Mercer yet?

Bye

Timeltel,

Rest Assured I have a few close American friends, lived myself in the U.S., Saw and experienced countless wonderful things and I will continue my travels in that great country.
It's a good thing most Americans think they live in the greatest country on the planet, I like my small population.

I'm glad that you understood the satire without reading far too much into it, humour can cure many afflictions.

Also I'm flattered that you would welcome me to tip a few on your porch, swap stories and enjoy some music.
Kentucky is a beautiful State and I picture your place in a very tranquil rural setting, it's all good.

Timeltel here's a bit of more humour.

I found Nandric referring to me as a French Canadian as satire good humour that fits well up here.
In Canada we have the Province of Quebec with about 8 million French speaking Canadians with many that dislike the rest of English speaking Canada, this issue kind of ties in with Riks perception of the country of France itself.

It's not uncommon while visiting in Quebec to be treated rudely and at times to be told in broken English, no speak English.

I scrugg it off but others have found if you wear an American pin flag on your lapel and try to pass yourself off as an American, you will get clear well spoken English back at you along with far better service.

Some Quebecers refuse to learn English, one high profile case was Celine Dion. She finally had to learn English if she wanted her career as a singer to go anywhere.
There are immigrants to this country that all ready know how to speak English before they even arrive.
Well this is the French Canada and France won't take them back.

Nandric
Innuendos and put downs mean nothing to me over the net and this is how I perceived your curator after reading the following.

You said, I progressed from a worm and even French which was meant by Rik to be a stronger insult via Dutch scum to a wild Serbian warrior.
Not bad result I think from two days of discussion.

No rebuttal, you didn't even flinch, I just found that paragraph comical,...Oh well
