The Wonderful World of Turntable Design AKA: Dave's Fugly World Of TT Wank

I agree, it was a bit cringeworthy.

Fremer got the ‘knows nothing’ tour where they showed him around all the toys and told him meaningless things. He’s not to know what’s really important and significant and therefore what questions to ask to cut right through that shit.

I’m pretty sure that they’ll offer him one for an in depth review, particularly when you consider that he once stated

Overall, the SME Model 30/2 is the best turntable I’ve heard.

Am I missing something? (Wouldn’t be a shock🤣) to me it looks like a 30 with a few aesthetic tweeks but for double the price ??

Such a dreary, unimaginative, ugly lump of MEH!

I’d cheerfully pay more money for something that doesn’t sound as good just so I didn’t have to get sad and depressed looking at that thing…

How about orange honeycomb sir?

uwotm8?

As much as I love the blue cable accent which I don’t. I don’t have and if I did I wouldn’t


He seemed very proud of the anodised honeycomb.

Ah, yeh, I didn’t watch, and no, orange does not belong on turntables, and that thing is :poop:

And he stressed the huge machining operation required to produce it…

On a modern CNC machine? Bollox.

Without really saying why they’ve chosen to bother, unless they’re going to charge customers more to not have that finish.

This.

There’s so much similar wailing-and-gnashing-of-teeth on watch forums when the various Makers release bad-taste blinged-out crapola because Old Men just haven’t adjusted to the fact that The West (and most-especially Britain) no-longer matters very much…

Reminds me of the Land Rover Discovery with the offset rear number plate. Just looks wrong to me.

Boot lid prolapse is never a good sign.

I struggle with the concept it was designed that way.

Which was actually inspired. But ONLY if the spare wheel was mounted on the tailgate. Without that it looked like it was a stroke victim.
