Thorens is legit… I have an og TD 125 mk2 and it’s bulletproof… Although I’m always skeptical of brands that get re-launched after they’ve been bought and sold multiple times only to end up as some subsidiary of a chinese value company. Not sure if the new models have the same build quality as the ogs or if this is just a play on their brand recognition to get a high price.
Fender is joining the pack and just announced a special release turntable they’ve made…limited to 1000 units and they’re $3500 USD.
I’m dumb when it’s early morning and I haven’t been caffeinated. really really dumb…
I had a total brain fart…you said Hifiman and my brain interpreted that as Schiit, who has multibit. my bad!

Stealth magnet update, too. Im guessing a lot of people are going to hate those without ever using then enough to burn in those stealth drivers and return them before they come to life.
Since the Deva and the 5xx were the same, I wonder if the Deva Pro is the same as the HE400SE. Still, if the Bluetooth adapter is good, it may be worth it’s price.
HarmonicDyne Poseidon…
For when you need your music in the shower - Poseidon
I jest, looks interesting - something with a little more bass than they’ve done in the past, balanced XLR cable and with an adapter to 6.3mm SE, nice touches honestly.
I’m getting a vibe that means this is going to hurt a lot of wallets
I’m getting the same feeling. But at the same time, the Zeus and Helios weren’t very expensive, so who knows?
Helios, not really, but it seemed to be hit and miss for people, with a lot of miss. Zeus grabbed a lot more success, and was getting outside of some people’s reach. We’ll see what happens here

Pro iDSD Signature is priced at €3,249(incl VAT) and US$3,249 (ex-tax).
At those prices, definitely not for the timid.
At those prices they can have 'em. Not even remotely interested.
