Next step in Turntable
Your biggest decision will be to stick with all in one packages, like VPI where your table and arm come together, or to step up to viewing the table and the arm as separate components. This second way involves a fair bit more work, but it really p...

Stratospheric audio gear prices

My Apologies to Miller Carbon
Thanks, that's very nice of you to... wait - "one of"?!?!😳
