The type of people that watch the Gadget Show wouldn't even batter an eyelid at spending £1000 on a mobile phone or £2000 on a gaming PC - I don't think the prices would be too shocking.The average non HiFi interested punters reaction would probably be a complete outrage that there exists turntable at a price range above £100, let alone £17k.
Was just an advert really.For the two people who seemed to get the wrong idea about this test, it was for turntable systems costing different amounts, not for an individual tt, or arm or cartridge, and I have no doubt the Clearaudio would be the vfm option.

Snap! I have a Chinese mole (Xiaomi Redmi something or other) that was probably the same price as an Ortofon 2M Red!That would be shocking me (with £20 Nokia 2g)!
I can't quite make out on my phone whether she says 'I've got thousands of vinyls ' or 'I've got thousands of vinyl' ,
I agree Mr Pig. I thought it was a very well-presented piece, which only hi-fi nerds could find fault with. It achieved its aim rather well and very concisely.Don't you think you might be over analyzing this? It was just a short segment on a TV show to intrastate that spending more on a turntable can get you a better sounding one. That's it. It wasn't a three-day long triple-blind test of sixteen turntable combinations because that would be boring shite that no one other than anorak audiophile beard-scratchers would want to watch.
Get a grip people.
Either way it's incorrect, unless she stocks a warehouse full of kitchen flooring for the first. The second is simply grammatically impossible and therefore complete bollards. What's wrong with good old 'LPs' or 'records'. By referring to them as vinyl(s), it's akin to saying that you have a lot of metal on your drive.
Indeed… and the reason they all used different cartridges is because they’re all complete packages… well almost anyway, the LP12 is the only one which comes with a phono stage so it’s actually the best VFM.Don't you think you might be over analyzing this?

Might’ve sounded even better if they used the Urika then!The amplifier already had a phono stage fitted, making the built in one on the Linn redundant
Rega P1 won. All decks where in that same price range.
I agree @fegs It's not difficult to tell which direction he's walking in even when blindfolded - and the DJ knew the expensive one was on the right
....lightweight with an awful Shure V15 highest trackability cartridge,
.........but it might have satisfied any nerdy doubters about it being truly 'blind'
