In Germany are a few analog groups, some build their turntable with a piece of wood and a knife and think it is great, some prefer old Linn, Garrads, Thorens as the only, real solution to listen to and others refuse to listen to Linn, Garrads, EMT's for various reasons (BS, Waste of Time, wrong generally, colored) and when they have to, they want money for that...another group uses Seiki, Verdier from France, Cotter and that's it for them  ....Another group in this little country have the motto for their reproduction stuff "You will eat your heart out", they are arrogant, don't read Mags or communicate in Forums because they are all afraid of getting eye cancer from reading that nonsense, hate reissues and their owners and accept only 2 colors: black or white ... :-)

And there is another interesting Country: France
From there the real outstanding Japanese stuff was translated in the early 80's, introduced, built and there are also some very interesting audio circles ....
Very interesting post and I would like to point out that there is truly no common denominator between those groups in generally. I mean there is absolutely no common sonic considerations why one TT is better than another. I have seen some people who own a few top flying TT and have them to setup in the same room with the same rest of the equipment. Even running the identical tonearm, cartridges and cables I did not feel that the “comparing” was adequate. Over the years I have developed my own judgment pattern about the validity of this or that audio groups but it has hardly to do with the actual comparing the sonic output from the different TTs.
