| Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K? @fjn04 Correct. Unfortunately. There's a used one on another site but the OP wants new. | |
| Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K? @essrand This is playing out as anticipated. You might regroup and start over. Suggest something like an ARC PH6 phono amp and Lyra Delos cartridge to start getting a renewed feel for analog. Then buy some 60s records on Discogs. | |
| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! Roy, you're starting to sound like a Flat Earther defending the indefensible. All other things being equal, it is possible to hear the difference in say, changing a cartridge or speaker, or tubes in a HD YouTube video. You can hear one being brigh... | |

| Should I buy an SME 30/12A for 15K? Until you know what cartridge and phono amp the dealer demoed the SME with, you cannot know how the SME sounds in your rig. $15k is enough to ask the dealer over to demo it in your place. | |

| Totally Ridiculous....Auditions on YouTube! Certainly not audition quality but of course you can ascertain qualitative differences in well-recorded YouTube video. If you can’t, there’s an issue with your aural apparatus and cognitive interpolation, and you shouldn’t be in hi-fi. |
