Smoffatt,It may be hard to get owner feedback on the Millenia,because of the popularity of the Cosmos,and the lack of main stream press on the table.Audiophiles are a fickle bunch,and some need to see a review in his/her latest mag issue.
I have seen,played with,and heard the Millenia at a trade show.This was the first time I had met Kirk a few years ago.It was a very fine table,if you want to go with a seperate motor type design,which is popular.
I did read a really good review of it,in a foreign on line mag(forgot which one).There,the reviewer went "ga-ga" over it,and praised it immensely!
He statedthat it was more transparent than the majority of "Euro Designs" he was familiar with.This caught my eye because he was referring to some heavy hitter/heavy tables(which are all the rage now)!
The review went on to mention the table(the Millenia)was more revealing than the other tables he was familiar with,some costing big money.
What can I say?My impression is that "like almost anything else" hard to come by "locally",many folks prefer something a bit more "rare"...
Look at the foreign auto market.Ford,Chevy are all the rage overseas,and we love their stuff.....Definitely DUMB,imo!!
My approach is to get as much info as I can(reading,asking the mfgr questions etc)and exerting some common sense.
Does the product offer what I am looking for?Is the design/execution plausible?...
Then,things seem alot clearer to me,but that's just me!
Btw,awhle back Kirk told me he knew a guy who modded his own Millenia and is now able to mount "two" arms on it....
"THAT" is something I would like to be able to do,but cannot presently!!
Good luck.
