Silbatone gear, while musically excellent and super-interesting technologically, is too fancy for me. I only have one old Silbatone 300B amp.I try to DIY everything I can, but I am getting lazy as I approach AARP age.
I get to hear a number of very expensive modern TTs in the Silbatone halls and elsewhere in my travels, and I'll take a 301 or RoK for myself. One of the other Silbatone guys uses a 301 though.
I can't say I am a high-end guy at all. Select upscale vintage and DIY are what interests me. Old idler TTs straddle these interests.
For the high end crowd, 301s are basically like FREE. Only $2k. Cheap.
Such people exist, 1000s in Seoul alone, but every day more and more are learning the lesson that new, fancy, and expensive does not equate to good.
