Recently joined the camp.
acquired an MC240 and also a Thorens td125 with SME arm and connected to my Klipsch Heresy II I hear magic. Streaming even sounds good but the vinyl is amazing. Back in those late 60s and early 70 there was some cracker stuff made.
Wish I had an MC preamp but the one I bought (that i could afford) was smashed by shipper :-(
