I agree. Back in 1980 I could recommend lots of good ones for about $250. Now it's best to just look on ebay for a good used direct drive unit. A new magnetic cartridge is a lot more now too. This place is the best I know of for new.

I got a unit there, probably 8 years ago or so. It's a decent unit and it cost me about $150 - shipping included.

Problem is now, I don't have a turntable worthy of playing my old vinyl. I would hate to ruin such a treasure with a crappy system. any suggestions on a turntable under $500?? Robert
