Crosley should be arrested for selling junk

@rbtstock  Sigh. I know. I buy some new. Not many. Many new are remastered and compressed. I'd prefer to suck up a little noise and have a wonderfully open, huge sound-staged, natural sounding, minute detailed recording than what happens once the digital remastering makes that magic disappear.

These were free (and I wasnt expecting much.) But I buy used that have been perfect, others less so. I have bought new that were noisy. I don't like spending $30 on a record.

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.

@lewm I wasn't sure. You can be so serious sometimes.

@ihcho The AT-LP120 is not a suitcase Crosley.
