Wow.
Command Performance AV (115 Park Avenue, Suite 2, Falls Church, VA 22046) is holding a Clearaudio event on Saturday December 12 from noon–5pm. Clearaudio founder, Peter Suchy, will be demonstrating the one-of-kind Clearaudio Statement turntable (right) along with the Goldfinger Cartridge and Absolute Phono. This will be the first showing of the new Statement turntable on the East Coast. To highlight the capabilities of the Statement, Garth Leerer and Jesse Luna of Musical Surroundings will be demonstrating the brand-new Eclipse versions of the Aesthetix electronics.

    I don't know, that seems excessive...

    Besides, then you have to test a whole bunch of candidates to make sure they have proper synergy with your system.

    True, and you'd have to do a blind A/B test to ensure there is no expectation bias too.....

    Psssh. Doesn't even have a fliptop lid. If it doesn't have hingetabs that can break off, I don't want it.
    I disabled signatures.
