Crosley should be arrested for selling junk

First off, the original post was tongue in cheek. No one is being arrested.
Second, just like poisonous additives in food, the manufacturer should be held accountable for junk products designed to fool the ignorant and maximize profits. It’s easier to regulate than educate. As far as I’m aware, there’s no minimum industry standard for turntables.

I'll second that and since the current crosley line is made in china it should be ruled out entirely. 

Just to be clear Crosley merely makes junk turntables.  Other people buy and sell it.  

Mapman, my feelings exactly!  They would not be in business if people didn't buy it.

I got a Mercury classical record on ebay the entire record had surface noise however it looked mint.You cant tell until you play a record.This is why so many young people are spooling it will NEVER be as good as a great turntable with a great arm.Im using TW Acustic AC3 with TW 10.5 arm and top of the line Transfiguration cartridge.LPs will always be king in my house.Good luck though.
