Other Notes: "Burning in the back of your mind is the question, 'Can I live with the 1400's lack of upgrade potential, or should I bite the bullet and buy a 2000?' Let's put it this way: Beyond what's between you and your bank manager, the reason for buying a 2000 is a lack of immunity to upgrade-itis. The 1400 is so good, so coherent, so confident that, like the slightly softer-sounding but livelier Wilson-Benesch Circle, it may be all you'll ever need from a turntable. What's so reassuring is that, with the Basis 300 arm, it'll do justice to Lyras and Transfigurations and cartridges costing as much as the deck and arm combined. It will never embarrass your LPs. It has no rough edges, physically or sonically. It's a open invitation to a tweaker's limitless GBH. And it looks so handsome that you're gonna be looking for the Michell badge.

Or a higher price tag." - Home Theater Review
