The Rockport is FAR from being the best TT out there. I've

with a Breuer arm, which can be purchased for a fraction of
the
price
of those others.

What difference does it make ?

You missed the point Graham, which was for Marc to brag on
Usenet
about all the expensive hardware that he has "heard". No doubt
Marc
heard
each TT in a different place, on a different day, with a
different
audio
system attached to it, and probably even with different source
materials.
Yep, really close, fair evaluations. NOT!

Just curious: How else does one evaluate multiple TTs? (other than
the
source materials should be the same, of course)

Side by side I'd hope.

Graham

No, I mean in the real world.

Side by side ? Anything else requires an 'audible memory' and that can be
very flawed.

Graham

So unless you can compare side by side, forget purchasing anything?

In the case of an esoteric turntable, I don't plan buying one so the point is
moot
for me.
