more sort of open plan and their horn speakers as well as that we have the

speakers as well as that we have the

speakers as well as that we have the avid range of turntables

avid range of turntables

avid range of turntables so we have the avid reference here which

so we have the avid reference here which

so we have the avid reference here which is about sixteen seventeen thousand

turntable as analog by it by nature so

turntable as analog by it by nature so is there any sort of digital sort of you

is there any sort of digital sort of you

is there any sort of digital sort of you know inter medium between the

no corruption in that corruption in

no corruption in that corruption in terms of the digital versus analog I

terms of the digital versus analog I

terms of the digital versus analog I guess I can call it a debate you I guess

guess I can call it a debate you I guess

guess I can call it a debate you I guess it’s safe to say that you guys tend to

it’s safe to say that you guys tend to

it’s safe to say that you guys tend to side on should side or anything music

side on should side or anything music

side on should side or anything music music at the end of the day and if you

music at the end of the day and if you

music at the end of the day and if you go to a live concert I don’t think

go to a live concert I don’t think

go to a live concert I don’t think anyone sits there thinking well this

anyone sits there thinking well this

anyone sits there thinking well this sounds digital or well this sounds

sounds digital or well this sounds

sounds digital or well this sounds analog at the end of the day the better

analog at the end of the day the better

analog at the end of the day the better the analog equipment gets the more it

the analog equipment gets the more it

the analog equipment gets the more it actually starts to sound like digital

actually starts to sound like digital

actually starts to sound like digital but it has more of an open less

but it has more of an open less

but it has more of an open less aggressive type of sound to it what

aggressive type of sound to it what

aggressive type of sound to it what exactly is the idea of having this sort

exactly is the idea of having this sort

exactly is the idea of having this sort of horn like sort of design with this

of horn like sort of design with this

of horn like sort of design with this well what exactly does I do to the sound

well what exactly does I do to the sound

well what exactly does I do to the sound and

and

and it’s because of traditionally your very

it’s because of traditionally your very

it’s because of traditionally your very efficient so you don’t need a very big

efficient so you don’t need a very big

efficient so you don’t need a very big amplifier to drive them and the the horn

amplifier to drive them and the the horn

amplifier to drive them and the the horn basically is there to radiate the sound

basically is there to radiate the sound

basically is there to radiate the sound out so it just works in a different way

out so it just works in a different way

out so it just works in a different way to conventional speaker so it gives a

to conventional speaker so it gives a

to conventional speaker so it gives a very big open sound and it’s probably

very big open sound and it’s probably

very big open sound and it’s probably more live sounding than say a

more live sounding than say a

more live sounding than say a conventional speaker just to look back

conventional speaker just to look back

conventional speaker just to look back here at this turntable I mean it looks

here at this turntable I mean it looks

here at this turntable I mean it looks impressive but I don’t exactly know why

impressive but I don’t exactly know why

impressive but I don’t exactly know why I’m impressive that other than the

I’m impressive that other than the

I’m impressive that other than the aesthetic is there something about this

aesthetic is there something about this

aesthetic is there something about this that stands out in terms of you know

that stands out in terms of you know

that stands out in terms of you know something that you don’t find in other

something that you don’t find in other

something that you don’t find in other conventional turntables yeah I mean the

conventional turntables yeah I mean the

conventional turntables yeah I mean the design of the turntable is completely

design of the turntable is completely

design of the turntable is completely different apart from the fact that it

this the weight bounces up and down so

this the weight bounces up and down so you get much better isolation than a

you get much better isolation than a

you get much better isolation than a conventional turn tow which may be the

sound quality the first question they

sound quality the first question they came to my mind and it’s the one I save

came to my mind and it’s the one I save

came to my mind and it’s the one I save for last is how many in terms of this

for last is how many in terms of this

for last is how many in terms of this setup here right now how many watts of

setup here right now how many watts of

setup here right now how many watts of audio is coming out of this if that’s

audio is coming out of this if that’s

audio is coming out of this if that’s even a huge you know factor in this case

even a huge you know factor in this case I mean how many was in terms of this

I mean how many was in terms of this

I mean how many was in terms of this particular speaker design for instance

they are very efficient so you actually

they are very efficient so you actually don’t need a lot of wattage to get a

don’t need a lot of wattage to get a

don’t need a lot of wattage to get a very loud sound is the sound quality
