Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Henry, sorry to digress further from your vintage DD thread; but I was having my coffee this morning, came across this thread, and I am a bit surprised at both Dover and Richard. All this "Debating" of I beams and not one mention of the best examp...
