  If the writer can't nail down the facts, anything else said is a waste of bandwidth.

  The Loricraft story is easily found with a Google search. Here's what I turned up in less than a minute:

  "Loricraft Audio, was set up by Terry O'Sullivan, and is located in Lambourn, close to the site of the original Garrard factory in Swindon, UK. This has allowed us to have regular contact with some of their former employees and senior engineers over the past 20 years, giving us a unique insight into the design philosophy behind their world renowned idler wheel turntables. We are a very small group of dedicated"

  I thought everyone knew this. Next, I suppose, this magazine is going to start offering tweak suggestions for these German made 501's. Won't that be something ;)

    there is a Loricraft Germany. For the German market and press there IS Loricraft Germany.

    It's like reporting Denon Germany told the press .... and someone says upon reading that report "how stupid Denon is in Japan and I can prove it".

      I stand corrected. They are represented in Germany, a significant market for turntables.

      Maybe it was incompetent, ignorant and careless of me to call that writer a bad journalist. However, were you covering the event, and having knowledge of Loricraft's operation and whereabouts, would you tag the player as a product of Germany or England..?

      Denon. Represented worldwide. My DL103-R says Denon, Ltd. MADE IN JAPAN
      Perhaps some Denon products are manufactured in countries other than Japan. Germany..? (a guess) or maybe Phillipines, Singapore, Maylasia. Would it be fair game to call it a US company, since there is, no doubt, US representation..?

        And since that employee is the one that goes to shows most of the time and shows her card with Loricraft Germany on it what else should a reporter report?

        Cheers!

          I guess I felt guilty of being harsh on someone I don't know.
