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

a
Breuer arm, which can be purchased for a fraction of the price of

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.

No, I mean in the real world.

Well, its a pretty good scam. Price the equipment high enough and make it
hard enough to borrow, that nobody ever does a decent job of comparing it to
anything else.

The people at Linn raised this to accepted commercial practice with their
"Single presentation" method.

Stereophile sucked "single presentation" right up, and made it their prime
evaluation technique.

Well, all this high end stuff is incomparable, anyhow.

Suck would appear to be an appropriate word to use.

That's quite good, Arnie. You nearly made a joke.

No doubt dozens of lurkers laughed at it. Being far smarter than you are
Paul, they made no online comments.

Lurkers? Is that what you call the imaginary voices in your head these
days?
