I purchased a demo Gem V2 about 2 years ago
! have personally close to 3 thousand hours on it.
Once I had the speed stability/ bearing issue addressed, it has been nothing but a joy to play my vinyl on.
If anyone is interested for some cheap and not so cheap, but worth it solutions to issues with their TTW turntables let me know.
Resale value?
This turntable will never be sold, my daughter is next in line for it, my grandson after that.
