| Whats on your turntable tonight? Malicorne – Malicorne (Hexagone 1975)A kind of French Steeleye Span crossed with Alan Stivel. Nice. | |

| Well Tempered Labs Record Player, thoughts on a used one? @dean75 https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=well+tempered | |
| TT and cartridge choice The Project Pespex is dull and needs more detail and transparency according to What HiFi. I would stay away. The Technics 1200GR (1210 in black) with an AT760SLC mentioned above would be a great table under budget and you’ll have mons left over fo... | |

| What are the current useless terms in this "audio world" @edcyn @millercarbon -- I've auditioned every car I ever bought. They call it a test drive.
