The rules are simple ...

1. Below are two turntables. Pick one... its free !
2. You can't sell it. This will be your one, only and last turntable.
3. No substitutions of any kind.
4. Its just pretend, just for fun, so play along and have some fun.

Your second choice is the Yamaha GT-2000

-----------

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.
