Crosley should be arrested for selling junk

In the golden age of vinyl 99% of record players out there were similar junk.

That % is probably actually lower these days. More like 98%.

Its the American way.  

Good times! 😉

Buy new then you wont have that issue!

I'm not sure I agree with these percentages, but I agree with the general observation: most turntables are junk. It's always been true.

Of the better turntables, many are not properly setup.

@rbtstock  Sigh. I know. I buy some new. Not many. Many new are remastered and compressed. I'd prefer to suck up a little noise and have a wonderfully open, huge sound-staged, natural sounding, minute detailed recording than what happens once the digital remastering makes that magic disappear.
