Am I a hopeless audio snob?

I think that I may have a problem, I am becoming an audio snob.  

I am going to upgrade my turntable and spend some good money. I read good things about Technics turntables but for some reason I can't take them seriously. From a few feet away, a $4000 Technics plus rig looks like a $400 Technics rig. They look cheesy to me. Low tech 1980's stuff.

I am plunking down some serious money on my next table, but I can't even consider Technics because of the looks. 

I think that I need help!

Yes, you're an audio snob. In my opinion, because you chose to make audio decisions based on looks and perceptions...rathervthan your ears.

Technics turntables are very good especially the 1200G and SP10R. Also the older generation SP10mk2 and SP10mk3.

It was the British HiFi press that out the spin on belt drive vs direct and idler drives that was wrongly favoring belt drives and made vinyl playback into a Linn LP12 world.
