Since when has audio gear become an investment? Talking about deprecation is silly. Rather it should be talking about enjoyment, not in days but in years. Enjoy the music, not the gear.
Turntable for life
I know the question has been asked before but it’s worth asking again. Many change equipment frequently, but have you found your turntable for life? One that you’ve had for years and still pleases you so much you are going to keep it forever? Price is irrelevant--it can be 300 Dollars or 30.000 Dollars

As long as the magnets continue to not like each other. and provide repelling force to lift a heavy platter. JC Verdier La Platine Granito Original Thread Design. If one day they decide to call a truce, they unite, and the platter collapses; I won't worry about it, because this world will have bigger problems. |
I've had an AR ES-1 for 30 years. It's had every upgrade out there so by now the only original thing on it is the plinth, but it is not my last table. In the last couple of years I'd been planning to move to a table with either two arms or an easy way to swap cartridges. I was looking for a good arm with a removeable wand or headshell when I happened to find Harry Weisfeld offering a Classic 3 from his retirement "Harry's Workshop" venue. I figured "what do I have to lose" and went to hear it for myself. I came home with what I hope will be the last table I will buy. The upgrade path is there if I choose to use it, but I'm pretty sure I won't have to look for another outright purchase again. |
