Nick ,if the support is an integral part, then why not supply it in the retail pric? That's what I don't like. Take the BL. You buy the deck. Then you need their arm really. then their cartridge. Oh and don't forget the optional tube PSU. Then the support. It's an upgrade/monopoly situation that reminds me of Linn and Naim to an extent. Great if you like that sort of thing. I just want a simple solution that works! Do you have the tube PSU?
