[QUOTE="fdlsys, post: 1064379, member: 2310"] Not sure if I fit the "wise" profile but to clarify my position, just in case: I'm not knocking down modern turntables at all. But, at a simple bang for the buck comparison, they do not impress. To illustrate this; Let's compare a few turntables in perfect functional and as-perfect as possible cosmetic condition (no cartridges, just tunrtables): TD147 - R5500 TD125 - R9000 in braced hardwood plinth, with new lid, and with SME 3009 S2 Late 70s-early 80s pre-Valhala Linn Sondek (LP12) in original Afromosia fluted plinth OR newly built "flat sides" kiaat/rosewood/cherry plinth, modeled after late 80s (big braces), with Linn Basik Plus arm - R9500 Valhalla Linn Sondek; around mid 80s, with Linn Basik Plus arm - R12000 ... Now, insert any comparable (quality, longevity, value retention) modern day TT at a price that is reasonable to find it at... and compare. [/QUOTE]
