Schitt turntable anyone?


Hi folks, looking like the new Schitt turntable is nigh upon us. Could this be a giant killer?

If this is under $800 it will tear up the competition methinks.

You could tell from that video that the Schiit is not as attractive as a Rega P3?  The lighting and the photography were so poor that I wouldn't venture a guess, myself.  But the Schiit does seem, based on verbal description, to be of a quality in construction that is above the low end Rega/Music Hall/ProJect standard, with all due respect to those products.  I also think the Schiit tonearm is clever and novel; whether that equates to "good" in actual use remains to be seen.  Anyway, as someone else said and I inferred above, if it's any good at all, folks will be going off the deep end in overstating its wonderfulness.
It might "kill" products in its own price range, and up to $1000 or so.  (Inexpensive Pro-ject and Music Hall turntables, for two examples.) But no, I doubt it will kill "giants".  However, I predict that some of those who buy it will swear that it does. Such is audio life.
