| RCA Victor records' quality thank you guys @drbond @mijostyn , I noticed significant differences between the same albums from different labels but never such a unique and annoying sound as RCA Victor. Instruments just sound like throwing forks together. I somehow thought old... | |

| Ultimate Turntable search...OMA K5 or ? @lewm to be fair, I only referred to the K3. I think the K5 is stunning, a thing of beauty, and is straight out of an Art Deco postcard. | |
| Ultimate Turntable search...OMA K5 or ? @lewm right.... no reason to argue about aesthetics and personal preferences... people buy it for the way it sounds. | |

I don’t think "consensus" is word used often on these pages :) but I agree, mostly, with the caveat, repeated n times a day here.... | |
