Ditto. And meters, it should have meters but only the blue meters. Those green meters are right out.

Do I have a deal for you! I purchase Record Runners from the manufacturer and modify them to audiophile standards. I first screen then for their audio properties using by highly-trained Golden Ear. I then remove all of the internal SMT capacitors and replace them with carefully screened audiophile-quality Aerovox capacitors pulled from authentic 1935 Philco table radios and/or paper wax-dip capacitors from salvaged German submarine wrecks. I then cryogenically treat the entire assembly in audiophile-quality liquid nitrogen (none of that Wal-Mart liquid nitrogen for me). The steering is rebuilt with all urethane bushings and increased Ackerman offset to better follow the inner tracks. Low-profile tires are installed and the body of the vehicle is replaced with the most attractive hogged-out aerospace-quality 2024-T3 barstock enclosure (brushed of course).

Only the most discriminating consumer can appreciate the difference. Normally, the retail price is $12,500, but as a benefit for my Audio Circle customers, the first 10,000 orders are offered at a discount introductory price of only $9750 each (limit 10 per customer).
