[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Of cause there is always a solution and I had wrote
about it a lot in past. The solution is eliminating the industry as a supplier
of High–End Audio and return the High–End Audio to personal endeavor. USSR was
a great ex...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"] That is a good example BUT the point is about defining
what Natural and what is Neutral for this or that person but rather about ability
of this or that person to pursuit his own definition of Natural or Neutral. [/quote...

As usual, that conversation along with many like it on a forum with strangers was an absolute waste of time as you pointed out. I guess part of the problem starts with the term "Natural" itself and what it means to different people; even if an explan...

I'm not here for that and I'm sorry for getting caught up in it!
Regardless of price like any product the AF1 has a specific market target, only you know if its for you or not.
The reason I ...

[quote user="rowuk"]I guess there are many types that come here to GoodSoundClub. Some to "brag", some to "share", some to "police", some just to learn.
I guess if your turntable is so important to you, then you could at least tell us ho...

[quote user="rowuk"]Can we get back into the "ultimate" turntable instead of the deviation of the AF1 that this guy sees as his personal solution. [/quote]Didn't know that I had a problem for the AF1 to be its solution.[quote user="rowuk"]There still...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]Oh, David, come on! Can you for a second to stop to be a pretentious been counter and look at the picture from slightly more elevated perspective? I am glad that you do not worship the expensive parts, unique design, and pr...

[quote user="rowuk"] Going in circles is bad for your health. Just like every other thread on expensive gear, the name calling starts where the good reason stops.Regardless of how we calculate, 100K is artificial because there are people willing to p...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]David, please do not hallucinate about the existing of marketplace or rule of market in high end audio. Among all people you should know better. There is no market pricing in audio. There is only mental abuse and financial ...

1- Romy, a $200 microscope was shit 30 years ago when I bought mine and is still a piece of shit today. Manufacturing 5-10 SX-8000 type tables a year is inexpensive, its when you go to 50-100 units a year, AF1 market, that cost of operations escalate...

Can I buy your Micro SX-8000 for $5K? After all its 30 years old easy to make for a few hundred bucks.davidActually let me offer you $10k for something that old and shouldn't be sold for more than $2k in Best Buy....

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]David, you are thinking like a basement TT maker, which is all todays TT makers in one way or another. The reality is that no one need TTs and the makers happy to make and to sell 5 turntables a year. For sure it is expensi...

[quote user="Romy the Cat"]About the new Micro TT, I do think that this is essentially the Micro 8000 with contemporary face lift and it shall sound like Micro 8000. It might be a little better or little worse, no one knows and frankly no one would/s...

[quote user="Paul S"]David, I did take your initial post in this thread as an "owner post". Like I said, (and I hope I can leave it at that), it "LOOKS" like a nice TT, all right; but there are also the usual reasons to wonder if it might be a well-p...

[quote user="Paul S"]Of course the idea of "minimal" needs context and a priori determinants, like any idea at all, and I don't see that the Regas belong in this particular discussion, at least at this particular point. OTOH, the Continuum is anothe...

[quote user="Paul S"]No "cost assumption" was made or posited about bearings, rather the remark was framed as a question, just wondering, likewise the very general remarks about belts (along with the closing disclaimer). If the air system is cheap, ...

[quote user="Paul S"]David, it looks like your "many" has dwindled to 2 citations, namely "overbuilt" standing alone, and "SOTA tables were all made from other materials". IMO, the table under discussion has been, if nothing else, taken way past the...

[quote user="Paul S"]David, of course the item under discussion would not exist at all unless someone "saw" it before he or she built it...
Setting that aside for now, Lord knows I try to Keep It Real when sharing thoughts about hi-fi. With this go...

[quote user="Paul S"]This actually LOOKS like a well-thought-out TT. Too bad the "review" is so over-awed/fawning. I can hardly read it. My suspicions rise uncontrollably and cloud my thinking as the cost-is-no-consideration "solutions" are meticulo...

is that the operating word is "Turntable Collection". The Air Force One (hate the name!) is the culmination of the great Micro Seiki's coming full circle and once again starting a new chapter in high end analog reproduction, this completes my MS COLL...
