To balance praising!...


There are optimists and pessimists; they see the world in a different way. There are technically challenged people who do not see but speak.
I give you an example. I am new to vinyl (2 yers experience). On recommendation of this board I bought a TT, the one most praised. I found:
wiggly platter,
rattling arm bearing (cheap cap holding the pivot needle)
no precise antiscate,
unnecessary connector in arm wire,
center clamp that’s too big and scratching against the Shure cart on end track,
hot running, oil spiting motor (to powerful and vibrating for my taste),
crappy arm holder………and a brochure advertising the upgrade path.
Most of my findings were posted here later by other inmates so it is not just my pessimism. The TT is still the one most praised in its prize range!
The question is: why so much praising?
