Ever heard an exotic turntable in action? Do you have one? Do you feel the difference between it and say a correctly set up Technics SL1200MK2 is night and day?

The rumble, hiss and crackles are much clearer on the exotic
turntable. If you are going to attempt to polish a turd, buff it for
all you are worth.

But do hold your nose. It is still a turd.

:-)

But back in the day the BEST reason for having a *good*
turntable/tonearm/cartridge was you didn't destroy your records every
time you played them! Better sounding **** was mainly a bonus. Now most
people don't care, (not that they ever did) their records sounding
crappier and crappier every time they play them adds to their "appeal"
now apparently. And they still get to perform the "rituals" they missed
out on with digital media. :-)
