Grand Prix Monaco review in new Stereophile- OUCH

Anyone read Fremer's review of the Grand Prix Monaco in the latest Stereophile?

Ouch that has to hurt. I am familar with the design of this table, and of course on paper it seems groundbreaking, but if I were in the market for a $20K table, (I'm not) this review would completely kill my interest in this seemingly stellar product.

Any other opinions?

(actually this is a great issue of Stereophile - lots of gear I am intersted in)

"accommodating price" you are in fact saying that you would not have purchased it at the customary price. Hence not buying into its value proposition."

I disagree. Mike, compares all products value to him at "accommodating" prices, hence they are all on the same playing field.

BTW, why are so many in this thread disrespectful referring to Mike as "Mikey", as you would a 10 year old? Are you trying to put him in his place?

Does anyone or Mike, remember a review Mike gave to a 20-30k turntable a year or so ago that he pretty much slammed?
I remember after reading that review thinking to myself that that company will be out of business in a year, as it was so brutal. At that time their was no public debate about that review. Why all this debate about the Monaco? Is it self interest?
