Isn't it incredible how much money our little group has spent on just the turntables. Don't forget the amps, preamps, speakers, cables, tuners, tape decks, cartridges, arms, tubes, power conditioners, Record Cleaning Machines, resonance control devices, stands, etc., etc..... We are a very valuable and powerful group of big time audio consumers. We should be treated with respect and reverence by audio dealers...many of whom don't. In my dealings with these guys, many are order writers. They might allow the customer to listen to something, but are really not interested in their satisfaction. I find most dealers too haughty ..and not nearly concerned enough. Its to their own and the industry's detriment.
