RE: TT Looks vs. Sound

Looks are completely a non-priority to me. It's not as though I am a DJ or someone spinning albums or 45s at a party or function such as a class reunion or reception, where you want to have a decent looking turntable.

I want good sound and a reliable rig. If I constently have to work on a certain TT, find that replacing a cartridge is a bear, then I will look for a better piece.

One thing I am a stickler about. My turntable must be dust and debris free. I've seen TT with layers of old dust on the platter, tonearm and everywhere. Since it's not my TT, I keep my mouth shut, but I mentally am appalled. Keeping a turntable looking clean is a simple process.

Myself, my turntable has the plexiglas dustcover down, and it's covered with a clear plastic protector when it's not in use. That's just me, your habits might differ.
