I asked James Tanner about pricing and the dust cover in that Audio Circle thread. Got the response below:
"Hi Gary
For now same price in Canada and the USA. You should not really listen with the dustcover down as it may create a turbulence but we have taken that into account as we have designed a vented, non-resonant plinth. The plinth is designed to reduce any turbulence that may build up as a result of having the dustcover attached as well as the turbulence underneath the rotating platter."
I don't know.
Follow Ups:
If the tone arm can't track properly because the dust cover is down,then I can assure you that it won't track properly when the dust cover is up. A platter spinning with an LP is not a fan and will not produce enough turbulance with enough force to even cause a mosquito to veer of course and a mosquito has much less mass then a tonearm tracking a groove. This is a scam.
"....same price in Canada and the USA".
Does he mean their price is $4000 US dollars for US customers AND $4000 Canadian dollars for Canadian customers? That doesn't sound right, although if that turns out to be Bryston's policy my US dollars will go straight to VPI!
I was very interested in this new Bryston 'table until I read what James Tanner said about pricing. Now not so much.
I wasn't clear either so I responded to him that I'd hoped the price would be around $3000US. His response was: "No sorry the arm alone sells for $2000 and the Bryston power supply would be $1000 on its own"
That means $4000 wherever you buy it. For me, I was very interested at $3050. At $4000, I don't think so. Although it does include that power supply....
Nah. I think it'll be another VPI for me. Maybe the Classic Signature.
