Top 5 Reaons to NOT BUY A TURNTABLE.

Man, what is with the obsession with the so called crackle and pop? I have very little of it, and even when it exists, it is not bothersome, as the music sounds great through a great analog set up. I will say it, if you are not into records, you are missing out...such a shame. Even my freakin thrift store finds sound awesome! All nice and cleaned up with my record dr V. You are also missing out if you are not into cassettes and Cassette decks...not the cheap A$$ ones, the nice 3 head Naks and Awai decks of the day. People crap all over cassettes because they never heard them on a great deck. Look at John Devore’s videos....he’s got some nice decks....I'm sorry, but some people are screwy...

thanx to CEDAR NR, i can sorta enjoy the sound of vinyl at least in real time. much of my music is restored dubs of LPs. i have always been extra-sensitive to surface noise, wow from warps, inner groove distortion, subtle mistracking damage from previous owners of records i have. lordy i'd love to have me one of those ELP machines. 

Dear @jerryg123 :  Don't buy it if you don't own between 500-1000 LPs and even that don't buy it if you don't have a wealthy pocket to really enjoy MUSIC enjoy those LPs and even that do not buy it if you don't have high knowledge and skills levels to make your self  overall cartridges/TT/tonearms/Pono stage set up and finally do not buy a TT if you have not enough patience to make that that analog rig be as good experience of listen MUSIC as the best digital set ups that today no matters what is a " little " superior to the analog experiences other than live MUSIC.


Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

@rauliruegas Wish I could understand what you are trying to convey.
Thinking you like the digital domain as I too enjoy it but prefer analog/vinyl. Yes I have a great analog front end and a collection going back to when I was 10.

Dude you have like 3 turntables in your system. Bit of hypocrisy.

So enjoy your Analog to Digital and back to Analog.You should read what Nelson Pass has to say about distortion in audio.
Here I found this video so you do not have to read. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Prz6IpHlSg
Enjoy the music and DISTORTION IS GOOD.

MC... Being a TEKTON Owner I USED to respect you...You are off the rails.
