@chakster @chakster What’s with the attitude? The JC Verdier Company is on your side of the pond. Google is your friend. Me thinks you have probably been down that DD turntable hole a little too long. Time to come up for some air. JC Verdier Website http://www.jcverdier.com/ Canada is a bilingual country so the French influence is there. With dealers nearby I was very lucky to find the rare Granito version many years ago. From the first record it was obvious. |
It’s been my personal experience in this eccentric, analog part of the hobby; that the best and longest lasting companies do not need fancy websites. Just an email and phone number, and referrals. And as someone who has been in the IT business his whole career, I would be very wary of any Audio Analog company that spent a ton of money on their website. I can give examples of products I own from an era when two channel performance was the main driver. Today, I am sure their marketing takes a good chunk of the budget. Chakster - i think La Platine Verdier model is beautiful. I think it is rather ugly. It is function over form. What is beautiful is how its’ design works and plays records. Effortlessly. And it doesn’t ask a lot for a special place to be made for it to live on. Its design has taken care of those needs too. |
chakster Why are you showing us a car without an engine ? the OMA link you show is a Plankenstein. The Verdier concept and design has been destroyed. *********************************** Harold - buying a turntable is like spending money on stocks; but turntables are much more predictable. In both cases - especially if one is spending a tidy sum on a TT, one must look under the covers first. As this is a resonance vibration activity to generate a small signal, turntables follow the an iceberg analogy where two important areas (bearings/footings) not easily seen, need investigation. Many spend serious money on turntables, which end up needing "further" significant money spent on what the turntable sits on. Then, the turntable stand and the substructure it connects to, needs to be looked at and dealt with . IMO - This is not a good way to spend money. |
