For me, this is perhaps the easiest WTF I've ever posted.
I'll take #2.
I like turntables that look like a turntable and have as few buttons, gizmos, gadgets, doohickeys and widgets as possible.
Its the Yamaha for me. No contest.
How about you ?
Its free !
Pick one and please tell us why you made your decision.
Thanks folks... and have a great weekend !
Dean.
PS - My thanks to Ed for the inspiration to get off my butt and finally start a thread.
reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.
