| Anyone had a Sony PS-2251 turntable A friend had one and it sounded great in his system, which was all tubes. The 2251 is hard to find, that is one in fully operational and functional condition. Most 2215's have issues, so to get one that will sound good, you need to do a lot of sea... | |
| Reason for buying old/classic turntables Yes, emotion and nostalgia, but also convenience. In addition to having a VPI Aries, with all the add on's, I have a number of Sony's and Denon's. The two units I use most are the Sony PS-X800 (Linear Arm) and the Denon DP-47F, mainly because they... |
