WTF = Which Turntable FridayTwo tables are presented below. You get to pick one, for free. Since free is a good price, take one ...even if you have no use for it.
Due to jetlag, last week’s WTF was decidedly uninspiring ...I just wasn’t feeling it. So I’m making it up to you guys this week with two high-end choices suggested by Penguin.
Here is what I know about these turntables ...they are black, have linear tracking arms, appear heavy and are very, very expensive. My knowledge of them has now been thoroughly exhausted.
And here they are ...
Walker Proscenium Black Diamond V
Rockport Sirius III
I’ll take the Rockport, simply because it looks far more impressive. The Walker may sound better for all I know ...but to me it looks like styling was either ignored or unimportant. Yup ...I admit it. For me, looks matter.
I think I’d leave the box sealed, sell it and then buy the best example of an L-O7D I could find, maybe upgrade the rest of my system too ...and buy another car so I’d stop piling miles on my Cooper. The rest of the money would be likely be spent on records, wine, bourbon ...and maybe a watch.
So, which of these sonic marvels floats your boat ...and would you keep it, assuming this game was real.
Thanks for playing.
Have a great weekend.
Dean.
reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
