Much to my surprise the Forsell sounded better. For me that was the first objective evidence of the value of euphoric colorations. The Rockport was designed to be as uncolored as physically possible. The Forsell was largely designed by trial and error based purely on subjective evaluation with no consideration of it's objective measure of audible distortion. The more colored TT was also the subjectively better sounding one. I bought a Forsell based on that audition and changed my philosophy regarding technical accuracy and it's function as an indicator of subjective sound quality

you don't say.... I've felt the same for years.
A lot of people clamp the record to the platter. I say, bunk, let it ride. Unless it has a large warp in which case replace the record. It's interesting that with analogue you get to play with colorations and maybe even find bliss, but not with digital unless you consider being able to change cables or such. Resistors and caps nowadays are too small.
Someday, someone will have a device with one knob that takes you from one extreme to the other.
But now you can play in digital with DSP plugins. I have adjusted my philosophy to the idea that accuracy is a good starting point and added colorations take us the rest of the way
"accuracy is a good starting point and added colorations take us the rest of the way", each to their own personal destination.

yes, and colorations to taste and system/room. Probably why so many are never satisfied and constantly "upgrading"
