Why is Acustic the best ...

Raul: Yes, I understand that there is no "best" and in a way you are repeating my question.

My point is this. There is a lot of buzz about the Acustic turntables. Aside from testimonials, what makes it a great design and how does that design differ from so many other tables that do not enjoy similar "buzz"?

Testimonials provide good feelings and reassurance about lots of things, but they provide no factual evidence. To make a grossly unfair comparison, lots of people said they "loved" Bernie Madoff.

I like to watch the DVD about how the movie was made. Some folks do not.

I am making the starting assumption based on testimonials that it is one of the best.

I'm asking what about it's construction sets it apart to make the buzz? Apart from secret sauce, sharing that the platter is made in part from fluid and copper dust is a start.

In regards to secret sauce, I seem to recall fusion in a bucket.

Jazdoc, I did not think you were being flippant. Thanks for your input. We just have different values.

I don't get the mystery or resistance that seems to come up about asking how the Acustic is made when by all accounts it enjoys strong testimonials.

Do other goners simple prefer testimonials to understanding design?

The question assumed it is among the best. The question is not "is it the best". The question is about how it's made.

I had a good chat with Jeff at Highwater Sound and he was quite informative and pointed me to some reviews. Thanks all. Jeff
