It is an hobby, we have our passions, but many of us try to keep cold as much as possible and keep objective. And science explains and can help the high-end - but many audiophiles prefer to ignore it.
IMO Ron thinks a lot, much more than we think. He loves to share his system, room and sonic findings with the members of forums he owns. He loves hearing from people in this forum. Why would he get a turntable that brings with it a non disclosure agreement and, if some one anytime wants to change, must be sold through the manufacturer?
Peter bought a turntable…so what? If he enjoys it and thinks it’s the best then why should he care what anyone else does or says regarding this brand of TT? Only if you are concerned about resell value perhaps?
In theory, at least, they will be a sonic improvement no matter what, because I think literally everybody took a dim view of my DIY amp stands on big Sorbothane hemispheres.

BB has been around for what, 4 decades? Many users, lots of feedback and many arms used on it. For me, one needs a stable table that does not do anything negative, is complete (e.g. no leanness, no bump, etc etc) and then let the cart take over with a good matching arm
What do we do when someone makes an announcement? We do videos. I created a Brinkman Balance and Vyger playlist to celebrate Ron's announcement, more fitting than saying congrats
Here's Brinkmann. The first is Vienna's system with Gryphon and Tidal. The rest are Avalon as described in the video and writeup on my blog.
Avalon is great cone speaker. Verity, Zellaton, are too. Sigma MAAT is a cone that can run on SETs and does the whole midrange bass thing excellently so probably comes up trumps. And is flexible and can easily be biamped.
