I'm normally laid back and don't get agitated easily but, having seen this video from Rega http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EfvHl8-88U
I felt that Roy Gandy has maybe lost his marbles and it made me rather grumpy!
Quotes such as "I'm the only turntable designer I know, and I feel quite lonely" - err what about Arthur Khoubessarian (Pink Triangle/Funk Firm), William Firebaugh (Well Temperered) to name but two.
And how exactly has the design of Rega turntable really moved forward!!!? (Many would argue they've gone the opposite way from an engineering quality point of view!)
Plus I spat out my cous cous when he claimed that rotational speed and accuracy was crucial to accurate reproduction! I've never seen a Rega setting the world alight in that regard.
Plus a £30,000 deck with a pimped up RB300 and three noise inducing drive belts....
At least his speaker drive units are still very musical, oh hang on their based on Royds.....
Rant over, back to the cup of tea.
