Some tables have soul and some not

Atheism is a religion too, if you know what I mean.
Both BMW and Lexus are good engineering, but the former usually has soul and the latter has not. Mercedes is somewhere in between. Same with Hi-Fi, probably even more complex. Good engineering doesn't hurt, true.

Ebm, you sound near psychotic. Why don't you go spin a few records, you have a good turntable?

I think Ebm's post is one of the funniest I've read in a long time.

Based upon the Lexus vs. BMW vs. MB comments I can only conclude that "soul" is a marketing concept.

Do cable risers have soul?

James Brown TT has soul

Yeah, these Black Power Turntables have some magic.
I am waiting for the Muhammed Ali Edition.
