steviex2shoes Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 Looks like they're going to be setting up a kickstarter possibly according to their latest post on Facebook. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
makeshiftrigger Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 maybe if you pledge 100 you can get a table for being an early bird or something, would be cool if they did something like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be worth $100 to take a chance on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

makeshiftrigger Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 will be interesting to see all these people trying to get away from the big business approach like ouja is doing with android technology, would be nice these people would do something decent though, hope its not an over priced crosley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyacrash Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 anyone know when this is supposed to be coming out? (more specific than, "this fall") Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewlucas Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 "Audiophile" is just being used here as shorthand for "pretty good sounding." I'm assuming what they're getting at is, "exceptional for the average user." So what about the price? If they've found a way to cut manufacturing and material costs in their design, then so be it. Nobody will know until they actually try one. Starting with a grant, then kickstarter, and not having a "brand" to support/name to pay for, maybe they really did pull it off. Though seriously, that's bogus about not having a dust cover. I have cats and a pomegranate, I don't want hair on my table. But the idea is really cool. I'll purchase one and write out my impressions for people to read about online. Hahahahahahaha!!!! I was laughing so hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cymbalism15 Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I wouldn't use it as a main table but I could definitely justify using it as a backup table for used records or using it as my dorm table. I definitely think it will blow the price range out of the water, but it won't be able to stand up to tables like the Carbon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natealcatraz Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 This would be a nice centerpiece for my kitchen table when I have a place of my own Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xxmartinxx Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 The reason they're calling this an "audiophile turntable" is because the motor away from the plinth, the plinth a solid piece of material, and that you can replace the cartridge. I would have preferred to see it have a clamp, but whatever. Had this existed ten years ago when I bought my VPI Scout, I probably could have saved $1700.

ajxd Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 You can't be serious. If you really think its better than your Scout, I'll be pleased to trade you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kannibal Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'll believe this thing when I see it. Hearing it is secondary at this point. As a mass produced item at $150, I just don't think it's possible for it to sound even as good as a Debut III. I could be wrong and I'll gladly say it.

Hopefully they'll make an upgraded model for say, $250, and I can trade some sucker for my Classic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I highly doubt even the debut iii costs more than $150 to produce. it's all about profit-margin and overhead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand this comment. How does size/quality of a collection factor into whether or not one would be interested in this turntable? patreeeek and wheresoulmeetsbody 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
