And they don't; just like any product, even a toaster.
However, I'm convinced that many hobbyists buy with their eyes, and that's perfectly legit. I just wish they would admit it. Or, back to musical content, there's a matter of personal taste, as I mentioned before. And if someone loves bass, needs that emphasis, then they can get a table that delivers that in spades, like the Ravens, Brinkmans, maybe your Townsend, etc. I heard a completely upgraded LP12 Saturday, new Radical power supply, Ekos, the works, compared to a WTL Dynavector table, same cartridge on both. One friend preferred the overt Linn sound, two of us preferred the Dynavector. He liked the swing, the bass whomp, of the Linn. It was too much for me. The WTL seduced, drew me in, in ways the Linn couldn't.
Very valid conclusions on each side.
Back to the OP. Yes, I, too, love the new WTL's.
My only worry is that I fear some of you are not having them set up correctly, hence you're not getting that ultimate goodness. Where are your dealers? And there's just some flat out incorrect setup advice on here, as the latest azimuth thread. Might work for him, yet it's not correct. All of that DIY bad advice needs to go.
So OP and others, enjoy!
