I agree, I met maybe only 1 or 2 who really knew from what they talk. Your writing about how this System works is complete and there is nothing to add. Maybe it is even worse. Yes, I think, it is even worse.
There is no difference made between a product which is really good and complete nonsense. Your Micro Seiki experience is very well written, final too.
I know Importers who tell me, they have to give away their cartridge (or another one) for getting a review, a former Basis Importer told me years ago he got a call from an Audio Magazine (the most known in his country) and they told him they want to list the Basis Debut Vac. newly as their Reference Turntable.
He answered, that this is a nice idea, he always knew that this is a very good Turntable but when he remembers right, they never listened to one.
The answer was, well, who cares, our Reference System listed for the last 3 years were all German units and now it is time for a change, they want American made units now (new Importer Advertisings....)
Btw. it wasn't done, the Importer was not willing to give them that Turntable for free and also the US Manufacturer refused to give one for free also.
They found a German manufacturer who agreed and the Ball was rolling again...
Years later, I think nothing changed.
