Most people buy turntables these days because used vinyl is cheap and a turntable is a novel device these days. Also they hear about how great vinyl sounds compared to digital, which is of course debatable. But the availability of cheap used vinyl these days is reason enough for one with any interest to take the plunge.
Thank goodness new turntables top out at $350! I already sent my Clearaudio dealer an order for the Statement and a check for $350. I hope shipping won't be too much. Got a record show coming up Sunday - can't wait to see what I can find for a buck or two.
