| Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously? @lohanimal, no one asking for exact price, but experienced vendors should recognize the symptoms described above (in my posts) to make a conclussion.

| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Amazing, if the GAE was just a first step and the next step in 2018 is Reference SP-10R with new Plinth and new Tonearm, i think new Cartridge from Technics is not a fantasy. I was sceptical about GAE, but now i see they are serious and gonna hit ... | |

That tells me the designer cared enough about the sound produced by this "primi... | |
