3dB, what is, being said here? No one said anything bad about ProJect. All I've read was our opinion, preference. Apparently all you've done was "read & research", most of us who have commented do own or have used some of this gear we have been posting on. I'd take someone's opinion who has heard the gear over some one who has just read a magazine. I don't care what Stereophile says, I make my own opinion on what gear I personally enjoy to listen to. And, I personally own Rega.

One of the high end shop here pride themselves on carrying brands, they, feel sounds best at certain price points. They carry Rega, ProJect and Linn. ProJect is the entry level and they stop carrying it at the point where Rega starts and then Linn. If ProJect made better sounding tables than Rega, I'd think they would carry more of the ProJect line and less, or eliminate the Rega. I'm sure there are others who prefer the ProJect, they are still in business.

Some one asked for our opinion and we were happy to give it to them. Opinions are like arm pits, everyone has them. If anyone was out to trash ProJect, we wouldn't have suggested them along with the other options. Don't even bring up DBT, here's another one of my opinions, they are BS and never proved anything.
