This is such shit. You know you're hyping by challenging the level 40+ audiophiles here. "Oh, you don't have Azimuth4Lyfe tattooed on your ass? You can't handle this."

am hoping Sol is so complicated that the retro vinyl revolution dies a final death and humans move beyond wax discs with grooves and sharpened rocks to pick up vibrations.

Great. Now I can use my USB microscope to view something other than my dignity after a vinyl binge.

Thinks to self, how hard can it be? Sees reference to microscope, re-pledges allegiance to digital.

I think scare tactics towards the SOL are smart so that vinyl virgins don't get a hard on for something they have no business owning, and then crap up threads saying its a POS because they can't set it up right.

For the guy thats aligned a few carts and understands VTA, I don't see how the SOL is much different than many other high end TTs, except the price. I seem to remember the Linn Sondek being one that was a pain to dial in correctly. But I haven't set up a TT since the mid 90s when I set up a SOTA for a buddy.

@crazychile, completely agree. I can't see this being harder than a Nottingham, try basically no documentation, no video, v. little adjustability, zero community - GTFO of here w. "hard"

I predict the hipsters will buy it in large numbers to impress their cohort with its 'complexity' - whether they can set it up properly or not - thereby increasing demand for vinyl and continuing to decrease prices for used CDs for me :-)
