Doctor J Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 For 3.5k each, they'd be idiots not to exploit that market. Quote
Jean-Luc Pickguard Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 It looks exactly how you'd expect it to look - a sunburst turntable 1 Quote
zbd1960 Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 I'll stick with my nearly 40 year old Linn Sondek... 5 Quote
Newfoundfreedom Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Wow! They even managed to make a turntable look dull. 1 3 Quote
Dankology Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 I'm sure someone will help put me straight here but I'd have thought that the properties desirable of a turntable plinth (ideally deadening all vibrations) would be rather different to those of a guitar's body (t*ne w**ds and all). 1 Quote
Doctor J Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Yeah, any kind of vibration transfer is not ideal. It's just another chunk of the lifestyle merchandising that they and Gibson have leapt onto and market hard. That logo is worth a lot to some people, regardless of whatever tat it's stuck onto. I don't think they will have any trouble shifting these to the countless brand junkies out there.  Coming soon, offset Jazz turntables made from heavy northern ash with a superfluous battery box (because somebody in the 80's thought it was a good idea to make it active) for that authentic 70's experience! Buy the pair! 1 Quote

Cat Burrito Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 I just upgraded mine over lockdown. I'd rather stick with a reputable turntable company in the same way that I wouldn't buy a kitchen appliance from a string company. 2 Quote
yorks5stringer Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 I think some are being a wee bit disengenuous here, the article states that Fender have teamed up with Mo-Fi (who?), so really it is a Mo-Fi product with a Fender sticker. 1 Quote

It appears to be a MoFi Ultra Deck which they've replaced the plinth of with a bit of Fender Wood, then added $1200Â to the price... And if I were spending $2200 on a US deck I'd buy a VPI Scout!

The hardware/Rega logo is black as standard. Edited September 24, 2021 by Lfalex v1.1 Edit- and they're from Essex, too... 2 Quote

FinnDave Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 Anyone dumb enough to believe that vinyl records sound better than any digital medium has their head sufficiently well buried in the sand to buy bandwagon jumping tat like this. 3 1 1 Quote
PaulThePlug Posted September 23, 2021 Posted September 23, 2021 (edited) Vinyl Records Sound Better... NO Argument! Rega Planer 3, RB300, Audio Technica ATF5 MC with the Stilton Solid Body Mod v's Arcam Delta 170 Transport / Arcam Multi Bit Black Box... not the Bitstream bollox... All in the loft! But... Digtal is Simple and way way better value for money... now my listening is done via ripping CDs to a little Sony NWZ USB Stick Style MP3 player... Simple...
