Belt driven cd turntables that are supposed to infuse "analog" properties into a digital data reader (otherwise known as a CD turntable) and $450 cables are all wasted on recordings that are made on equipment that never went to this level of unusable and illogical "tech". The idiocy of wasteing money on this junk is that .... with all my professional experiences in recording studios and having worked on many hit records...no musician, or recording studio has utilized this expensive "crap tech" to make the music you want to listen to it on. You want to hear your music as it was heard by the people who performed, produced and mixed it? Visit a recording studio or watch any TV interview in a recording studio, and look for all this expensive junk and you will be REALLY dissapointed you blew your money on it, because it is NOT THERE. Get a Pair of Yamaha NS10 M's if you want to hear what the pro's hear. NS10M's have been the studio standard for 20 years. The video industry deals with a much more sensitive and information rich signal. You would expect to need this stuff in a broadcast facility, but they do not use this crap either. In the Broadcast Industry, bandwidth and signal integrity matters much more. Broadcast facilities must exceed the enduser environment and technology to deliver a rich and heavy stream of information thru miles of a varying electronic chain. This requirement dictates critical signal integrity and equipment to support it. Normal audio, analog or digital, is a walk in the park compared to Hi definition video AND audio. This stuff is all a joke, predicated on people that have no idea about the science of signals, by vested interests. MOney making Tech snake oil for sure. Experience changing audio it is not.
