The emperor’s new clothes and not very pretty at that. The OMA gets my vote for winning the ’ugliest turntable’ award, the SAT for ’most overpriced’, the TechDas for ’most over engineered’. The fact that these products exist and apparently satisfy a demand says something about the current state of our society, does it not?
These are just trophies for the rich, who probably couldn’t care less about performance. It won’t bother them at all if these contraptions don’t have better speed accurancy than ’normally’ priced (for us!) turntables, or even turntables built decades ago. Same ’logic’ as 100k wristwatches I guess.
It puts a new ’spin’ on the closing words on Zappa’s Lumpy Gravy: ’cause round things are boring’......
