Save your money.The older you get the worst your hearing will be.I have never needed a lp that cost over 69 bucks.Plus,I'm 72 now.I walk alot.When I'm done.i pick out a cd of who I want to hear and hear it start to finish without having to get up and flip and clean my lp.I have over 1500 LPS 4,000 cds.Of classic Rock.that is all I need.Let the younger people go out and buy $100 records.I go to the thrift and buy $1.00 Cds and only buy none scratched one's only.And yes I can hear the difference between a good recorded cd or cheap aftermarket ones.
