I have to agree with Audiofeil ...you can get a great Nottingham Innerspace or Space Deck used and be blown away by the performance and simplicity of these TT's.
What Turntable to Buy
I am going to buy a new tt and was wondering which one you would pick if you could have your choice between the Super Scoutmaster Signature or the VPI Aries 3 with the 10.5i arm. The Aries will come with either the SDS or the Outer Ring Clamp for the same price as the SSMS. Which one would you pick?
