| Revolver Rebel Turntable and "too much cartridge"? others may disagree but here is my take. Not familiar with the table but I would recommend you to save the cart money and start a turntable fund.1. Turntables last a long time, carts don't2.

| Why do all audio forums on the internet seem "dead" ?
