Re: So once again, someone bashes a product or company because...

I've run into this on many sites too and not just on here.

Sometimes though the product does indeed suck and should be called so but on the other hand, I've heard just enough better stuff than what I have to know the difference and know that when auditioning in a showroom, the gear may or may not be setup correctly.

I've heard the Project tables, namly the 1.2 and the 2.0, the Music Hall (I think) and of course the P3 and I think the P25 at the time (now supplanted with the P5 and P7) - all of these were a few years back and I know from experience that the tables were most likely not set up right nor had the best carts available and one of them the Project? had an Exact (I think) on it, and it left me uninspired and I knew it was not ideally setup and was mentioning it here and I believe I even indicated so.

But in the end, a good review is when you consider the environment the product is in, it's setup etc and also stand back and try to find something positive about the product. I think too many people do not take the time to think it through and just fire off a quickie and diss if it sucks.

A good review takes time and most people don't want to take that time I think.

In the end though, despite what many say about the Rega, I'd consider them in the future, but most likely the P5 or P7 instead of the P3, as cool looking it is and I'm glad they finally dropped the P2 as from all accounts it may not have been as good as the P3 and higher even though it looked almost identical to the P3 in looks but performance wise, it seemed wanting compared to the rest of the table lineup from Rega.

Meanwhile the Shure M97xE is making listening to vinyl much more enjoyable again. :-)
