3 New UBER Decks - Is this Turntable's SwanSong? 🦢

BTW: I never use phrases like “LAST WORD” or words like “STATEMENT”. Those are reserved for hack writers who sit “SLACK JAWED” to products that “RAISE THE BAR” etc.

Edgewear is simply jealous. He’s not heard any of these turntables but he’s eager to call wealthy people fools. That’s interesting. The ones I’ve met are damn smart and not easily fooled.

Dear all,

Mikey is the only one being able to compare all that fancy TTs. Regarding prices it is a never ending story. Maybe I should come up with a million dollar baby…Why not consuming Mikey´s thoughts, it gives information and discussion opportunity for the guys like us. I am always asking myself what are the real innovations in turntable building. Are they shown in these units?
i miss a real airbearing design which I have. I miss two exact running motors on both sides of a table, I have two installations and be very happy with it. I do own three DDs, among them a completely restored Victor 101. Why should I add 100 thousand dollars for a SAT table or an OMA design despite the Schröder arm looks interesting.
Maybe one day Mikey got enough from the business and will be able to build up a real listening room 😂

Dear @grooves  : Thank's to come here with your answer. What I posted to you about was with a positive attitude looking for this MF and I never imagine you come here to post on it.

The fully analog imperfections makes that almost any analog subject could be controversial, as this one ( green vs yellow. ). The longer and deepest controversial dialogues takes the analog stages.

In the other side and because no one but you are more close to the LP manufacturers it's " imperative " that the QC be a real and true QC with " zero " tolerance.

You and any single audiophile in the world needs that the LPs be perfect centered ( both sides. ), no surface waves or irregularities and is imperative that those can happens because every one of us ( including you ) spend money and precious time fine tunning each one room/system only for the LP comes an " destroy " the quality level performance of those room/systems.

I know that you understand perfectly and your direct help with all those LP manufacturers is and will be appreciated for those " things " happen in the short time.

Thank's again, appreciated.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

It’s ridiculous!

If the tonearm does not move side to side while playing the record then your record is perfectly centered (perfectly enough, so no one can detect any imperfections in pitch, even trained musicians). The rest is speculations of the most boring people - audiophiles.

Vinyl is a cheap media format to manufacture, off-centered records must be in the recycle bin immediately. Defective records must be returned to the seller/shop whatever, no one will argue about it.

Unfortunately there are off centered records in the market, playing those records everyone can actually see how a tonearm is moving side to side (sometimes it’s 5mm off, and that’s awful, in this case the pitch is noticeably and constantly changing, especially if you are listening to the horn section, for example).

If your tonearm does not move side to side then you don’t have to worry !

If you’re still worried then stick to digital.
