| Help me decide on first turntable purchase I agree with the advice to dip your toes in slowly. A buddy of mine spent several thousand on an analog rig a few years ago. In just a couple of months he dumped everything when he found out it just wasn't for him. The good news is I cherry picked... | |

| AV123 Strata Mini's or Klipsch Forte 3 or 4 If you listen to poorly recorded music (like the majority of CLassic Rock) dont buy Forte's of any kind. They are the least forgiving speaker in the Heritage lineup I agree to a point. I have two friends with original Fortes with ALK crossover... | |
