If you're patient and check li... | |
| Classic 3 VPI My 4 year old Classic has squealed since day 1. I dont hear this quirk as a real concern. A few seconds of belt slippage and its fine.If your running your table straight, the platter speed by default, is off. This is only an issue however, for th... | |

| turntable/cartridge for old 50's 60's rock records. Based on just reviews, the PrimE. w/ a good LOMC delivers the goods. Naturally, you're gonna plug that into a competent phono stage which is equally important? | |
