Schitt turntable anyone?

Hi folks, looking like the new Schitt turntable is nigh upon us.

Hardly. That article was published last year and there has been no further mention of the table anywhere. It will certainly slay some giants if/when it does come around because Schiit is a brand that survives through placebo. 

Mike talked me into buying a Linn Sondek back in the 70s before he and Neil started Theta. At that time Mike was a BIG turntable guy and told me that would make the greatest and most musical change to my system. Of course then he designed the Theta digital stuff, but still talked to me about the Linn and mods. I’m sure he’s still has an analog streak.

It looks like just another belt drive turntable. If they wanted to do something not so ho hum they should design a good direct drive model and get rid of that crappy uni-pivot arm.

There was an update in March saying they were shooting for late summer:

What's the problem with unipivot tonearms?

Nothing. They have their strengths and weaknesses, as do gimbal arms. Such comments are to be expected from the direct-drive peanut gallery.
