Ok guys

thanks for everyone’s input I didn’t intend this to be a question of how much everyone spent on their turntable or entire system, could I spend more on mine yes but when I pulled my 80’s Onkyo turntable out of the garage and my boxes of albums out that I never thought would be cool again too it brought me back and I liked what I heard, I’ve always been in to audio equipment and good sound, so I don’t have a 6 figure system and that’s ok again, could I afford it, yes but I choose to spend my money on my car and my house. Thanks again for your responses

Leave it down if you like extra static.

The presence of a couple of small nocturnal predators necessitates the use of a dust cover.  A rotating platter would be an attractive nuisance for the beasts.  No point in tempting the devil.

This place is going to the dogs.
