They don't sound that good and they have a reputation for questionable reliability, not to mention the fact that it's a little nerve-wracking to own a $20,000 product that may be orphaned at any moment (as it has been in the past). Just get a nice turntable and make sure an expert sets it up. A beautiful one for not too much money is the Rega 25--it's high-quality but basic, and once you get it set up right it's not likely to need tweaking very often. If you want a killer 'table for a fraction of the 25's price, get an Origin Live Oasis kit: http://www.turntable-kits.com/turntable.htm A true giant-killer. ---Mike - This message is from the Pentax-Discuss Mail List.
