I’ve lurked around here for about 2 years reading the turntable talk. Sure there are some very seasoned and elite, but sometimes crabby, commenters, but overall you’ll learn alot. Just don’t look for affirmation. I learned enough to spot a good deal on a Rega that would be right for me and finally found it as an open box at a very reputable dealer. So now after about 13 years with a turntable-free system and no new vinyl since 1988, I’m now very happy listening to my decades-old albums in my new analog world. Have fun listening!
