That listening rom looks like an over-priced dorm room, with the leather of no more aesthetic appeal than a pleathor hat 'tossed carelessly' on the table. Someone please explain for me the garden gnomes. Maybe this is a high-end bass conditioner I have yet to encounter.
The value of embellishment?
Does adding a leather veneer to a $4K more than double value?

Couldn't resist asking the question. The claimed sonic improvements:
"The effect of the leather skin and hardened stainless steel is a sonic upgrade over a stock Prime, in terms of detail, bass extension, air, and resolution." Interesting. I thought it was arm/cart for the most part. I hear all those descriptors with my VPI. You get more.....uh, okay.
I have leather faced speakers-it works for the aesthetic. On the VPI- subjective like everything, but on a turntable plinth?
The footers look corny. This stuff is subjective of course, but it sure looks...
Not bashing VPI-I use one, and enjoy it for what it is. I'd love to own a HW40. No leather though, thanks.
