Nope. Still not going to buy a Project. This one is for the true Beatles tragics I suspect!

Apparently there's over 1000 SKU's from Project now... any excuse to expand to keep the money people happy.
It's not about better sound anymore, it's about increasing the number of retailers / offerings on-line.

It's not about better sound anymore, it's about increasing the number of retailers / offerings on-line. not really. did you see their new products at ces ? sure there are multiple variations on existing tables but also some innovative new pieces like the phono stages with continuously variable loading.

I did - in particular a vertical turntable that takes the concept of quality sound and throws it out the window in order to make a 'talking point'...
The basic recipe for the range is...*
Black plinth
MDF platter
Alloy platter
Alloy platter with a better cart
Alloy platter with a carbon arm
Alloy platter with a carbon arm and a better cart
Alloy platter with a carbon arm, a better cart, USB recording
Acrylic platter with a carbon arm, a better cart
Acrylic platter with a carbon arm, a better card, USB recording.
Red plinth
MDF platter
Alloy platter
Alloy platter with a better cart
Alloy platter with a carbon arm
Alloy platter with a carbon arm and a better cart
Alloy platter with a carbon arm, a better cart, USB recording
Acrylic platter with a carbon arm, a better cart
Acrylic platter with a carbon arm, a better card, USB recording.
White plinth
MDF platter
Alloy platter
Alloy platter with a better cart
Alloy platter with a carbon arm
Alloy platter with a carbon arm and a better cart
Alloy platter with a carbon arm, a better cart, USB recording
Acrylic platter with a carbon arm, a better cart
Acrylic platter with a carbon arm, a better card, USB recording.
All retailers get access to the black, one gets access to the red, another to the white...
It's not about increasing audio quality, it's about shoehorning as many turntables into as many retailers as possible.
Hence the MusicHall turntables, the Cambridge, Crosley, Thorens and Klipsch branded Projects (some have different plinths to be fair).
*Note this varies, obviously but it isn't a mile off
