MC demagnetizer, how many use one, any concerns?
I'm a "newbie" to analog/turntables, but in my research so far, I have come across many who state that "burn-in" products, of which de-magnetizers are included, is just a marketing scam to make a small industry rich. Check out the "BURNING IN COMP...

"Beginner" audiophile Turntable for $200-$300?

"Beginner" audiophile Turntable for $200-$300?
Well, given all that...this puts me back into my original position - leaning toward the NAD 533 (or the MMF-2.1, if I just can't wait or justify the added cost).Jim, I am more inclined to go with a "new" turntable for the reason brought up by Boma...
