Re: AR EB101 turntable
The point is that he BD1 was fit for purpose and the Strathearn was not. For the record, my BD1 didn't go backwards on any occasion I remember.
Strathearn, although noble in intent, was a farce from the start, like its stablemate, DeLorean. The design was fatally flawed, the materials were wrong, the workforce were inadequately trained and the marketing was inept. A government operation, of course...at least DeLorean retained an expert consultant, but even Chapman couldn't make a proper product out of it. Stratearn Audio, and I know this from conversations with a former shop-floor employee, was the inept led by the ignorant. Connoisseur were neither. Granted, they over-reached badly with the BD3, but that is irrelevant to the present discussion.
