Well, I don't think you've done a proper demo of anything if you haven't had the two decks side-by-side in your own system for a few days.

The Brinkmann bearing is not designed competently if its operation characteristics change with temperature.

Newsflash: Hi-end TT owner thinks his deck is "the best in the world" shocker!

The SME will probably fulfil my 'umble aspirations. And no, I definitely don't want a foreign deck. Particularly not a poncy one.

 

Well, SM thinks the precise opposite, so square that circle.
