What Turntable to buy under $600 ?
I had a P3 as my first 'phile table, and was pleased even before I knew it was fast. I did buy a used Sota Sapphire and was pleasantly suprised at all the new detail I could extract from a disc. The tonearm is a Rega 250, I got tired of the spring...

Strange Tonearm Tweak. Long
Mr slate I'll be right over with those papers! Anyway, I still want to do the mod, but now need a good MC to use. I have started a new business with my wife, and plan on rollin' in the dough in a few weeks. Well at least as much as selling cookies...
