To me the problem with this it is not about that specific turntable but presence of this turntable and presence of the Framer as class action case which defeat a notion of public service. I do not advocate this or other design and I do not advocate any specific firm. What I do advocate that somebody like Framer should exist as it should serve well-defined public service. You know that, that evaluation of turn tables and their quality is very complex subject. None of the people who are willing to pay dozens of thousand dollars for a new turntable have an ability actually to try it or experiment with them. Even if they do they do not have an ability to make an objective decision as the whole subject of analogue reproduction is super tweaky.
We all, buy turntables based upon perceived reputation of a given model. I see bunch of the people with speakers that acoustically clip at 40 cycles advocate one or another turntables produce more profound lower base. This is sort of intellectual BS which is exploited by the industry, nothing wrong with this as the cost of subscribing this BS is purely voluntary. But we are not talking about satisfaction an individual person get but we are talking about public quality control, sort of consumer advocacy which should be rendered by the people who put themselves in a position of audio reviewing. If a music critic which is payrolled by an organization writes a glorious review about horrible performance Saturday night then it is only something that pays his mortgage and boost ego of somebody who need it boosted. When an audio reviewer driven explicitly by objective to sell product and is that objective to inject into consumers drive to buy an audio object which is pretty much impossible to try, then it is not a quality control, not a line of defense for consumer but infomercial and to present it as a reviewing is a consumer terrorism.
