My read on the review is that Fremer thought it was a very fine sounding and well engineered/built product that only paled in comparison to his reference turntable which cost 4x as much as the Monaco. Also, carefully read his comments on the sonic failings of the Monaco. Much of it reads like audiophile audiophile bullshit talk.
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)
