| Dual 721 - Harman Kardon T-60 - which TT to keep? Audiofeil,I thought both of these tables stacked up well against any vintage Thorens, Denon, or Technics.

| Old B&O vs. new Rega P1 I have the Beogram 4002 with the original MMC 4000 cart. The drive for the tangential arm failed. It is absolutely the coolest looking vintage TT, but I don't know whether to spend around $400 to get it repaired. It is in very good cosmetic condit... | |
