Perhaps they decided that all R&D improvements would only be on next
years model and people who purchased this year's, would go without.


Have there been any improvements in turntable design over the last 30
years?

In your opinion obviously.

If there had been a signficiant improvement in turntable design or even
the whole area of vinyl cutting and playback, then you could cite me
the corresponding scholarly paper. I track such things, and if memory
serves, the last one was dated in the late 60s or early 70s.

My (imperfect) recollection is that there was a flurry of research and
papers around the time the industry thought 'quadrophonic' LPs would
replace stereo and some makers used systems requiring an ultrasonic
subcarrier. But I haven't checked to see if much more has appeared later.


Like Jim you are choosing to take a very extreme view

Actually, their/our viewpoint is not extreme. Many people have gotten
off the "everthing sounds different" bandwagon.

I remain puzzled and amused by the belief that what I wrote was a "very
extreme view".

Slainte,

Jim
