It's in a living room and needs to be wife approved. So yes. Looks matter. Looks matter in all of this hobby. Don't kid yourself. Someone else had the same ridiculous notion of why one would buy a record player without records. That's ridiculous and dumb as hell. Why would one have records without a player??? BTW genius, I do have an extensive classical LP collection that was my dad's. Vibration isn't an issue. It's been checked.
Thanks
