At their monthly listening party Esoteric Audio (111 West Monroe Street, Suite 100, Phoenix, AZ) will be featuring the local premier of the Grand Prix Audio Monaco v2.0 table. The official listening party is on Saturday August 13 at 3:00pm, but the table will be demonstrated Friday afternoon, August 12, and all day Saturday.

Seems like we are swinging back to direct drive being the fashionable turntable choice.

Welcome back, direct drive!

Maybe I will throw on my leisure suit and platform shoes and truck on down!

Hope they have a great event!

Direct drive turntables usually get a bad rap from the belt drive enthusiasts. They claim the belt isolates any motor vibration. Now that notion gets thrown out the window. Why's that?
