Even the big L will, one day meet it's maker.
We all have a different defenition of greatness, but I wish he understood enough about TT design to have included some of the other amazing milestones along the path, and anyone who thinks the TD160 is anything other than a tiny step on from the 150 needs ignoring IMO. Where's the Pink triangle? Where's the Rock? Where the Nottingham analogues????
Blimey on and on and on and wrong.

There are times when I really go off some people, sorry to say.
And why should anyone care?
Linn will meet Linn?

That's exactly my point.
I think "iconic" is a silly, cliche'd and clickbaity thing to say. The Mini was a distinctive and specific set of design choices about what a car could or should be.

Baffled
Of course it's clickbaity - the Pearl Acoustics marketing dept wouldn't be doing much of a job if they didn't attract views : )
Nothing wrong with that. They raise their profile a little bit and we all get to enjoy debating whether or not he's a cloth eared fool for not including the Zarjaz RZ-5000 mk2. All good fun.

...The rhythm has Control
Forgot about that one, the Zarjaz RZ-5000 mk2 is a nobrainer top ten deck for sure, but I think the mk1 still edges it out for long term enjoyment. Many thought that the decoupling membrane on their mk2's Atmosphere tonearm was too fragile and would need servicing at some point.

Garrard SP25, anybody?
I've only ever owned four (4) HiFi turntables. As with you, 50% of them is on the list
One of them was an original two motor AR and I've, incidently, done the hammer test!
And to some of us Pearl is a Swedish maker of high end condenser microphones.

I agree, I think the Gyro should be in there alongside the Hydraulic Ref.Depends what you mean by iconic... any list that misses out the Gyrodec is flawed frankly. Iconic sound and iconic looks... compare and contrast to the fruit box

Absolutely - good call. I suspect its production volumes make the Sl-1200 look like a niche product!
