We never had any kids. During the pandemic, I decided to get back into audio and get out my old cd collection. This eventually led into vinyl aga... | |

I am very pleased with it and even the wife who is not into audio thought it sounded fabulous. Will I buy others? Possibly if it is something I really like. I am curious to see if ... |
