Freaked out about having a TT shipped
I had a Pink Triangle shipped to me via UPS smashed to pieces. Later VTL said never to use them, go FEDEX Air. Also pack a box within a box with LARGE bubbles or single sheets of balled newspaper in between the boxes. Then take off the platter and...

Naxos, the way to go for classical?

Vintage Turntable: AR Es-1 vs Denon DP-60L
