which turntable for the future?
Lots of good suggestions here.  I own the Air Force V Premium and can say that the Air Force turntables are spectacular. The vacuum suction improves the sound significantly and the capability to install four arms is a plus. Get yourself a top-notc...

Beautiful Music That Reduce You To Tears
I'm a man - I don't cry 😁.  My wife did choke up when I had her listen to "Romona" by Dylan on the following verse: I've heard you say many times That you're better than no one And no one is better than you If you really believe that You know you...
