This thread is fascinating to read. I love reading the diversity of opinion expressed here. Focusing on turntables and cartridges for me and those of us who are passionate enough to hang around here is an absolute gas. We collectively are somewhat similar to flat earthers I suppose. I love that there are companies that would devote the time and resources to develop a product like the Wilson Benesche. I love that Panasonic would continue to devote the time and resources to develop ever more sophisticated turntables in the other direction. As other things seem to move toward maximum entropy, thank God for this little enterprise. You all give me hope for the future.
They should charge more for it…
The Absolute Sound magazine just elected the new Wilson Benesch GMT one turntable as their turntable of the year…and awarded it as such.
In the mini review of the table, the author writes, you know something is up when a competitor states..“ they should charge more for it”. Yet, the table under consideration is priced at a measly $302k! Yes folks, more than a quarter of a million dollars! Yet we are being lead to believe that this product is maybe underpriced?
Interesting attitudes prevailing in high end audio reviewing these days…
Perhaps it is under priced, as maybe it could sell for millions of dollars…to the right audiophile consumers? The Absolute sound reviewer, and lately most audio reviewers, seem to think that any price asked is fine, so long as the piece basically delivers the goods. Are they correct?
