There are still a few JVC QLY5F's that come up for auction from time to time. Only draw back is it is a P-mount, limits cartridge selection somewhat. I bought mine on the day the first space shuttle blew (watched it live in the audio shop) and it is still going strong.
Automatic Turntables
Is there ANY 'table on the market with at least auto Return,.. let alone Fully Auto function which sounds "good"? I don't mean GOOD,.. but????
I was "Fully' part of the "High End" gang; was part owner of a, now defunct, company,. used all of the great stuff in the 80s and 90s. Since then, well, my system 'ain't "bad": Cambridge 550A; unmodified ony DVP-9000es and Monitor Audio RS-6s.
My Current table, purchased here, as a "Refurbished" Thorens 166 mk II, which ( you Know who He is!) and sold to me a with a Garbage cartridge: Autofon "Omega"! ( He kept That fact to himself!)
So, any advice will be greatly appreciated..
