For money spent, it may be that vintage 'tables offer a better value than new ones, at least in the sane price ranges (say, under $1000 US). And, lets face it, once you get above the most basic of the new tables, you're talking serious money for a new table and arm . . . and you still haven't bought a cartridge or a phonostage or the cables to tie it all together.Even though I bought my table and arm used ... and therefore at a substantial discount, when I tally up the dollars I have spent solely on vinyl playback (table, arm, cartridge, phono stage, 2 pairs of interconnects), it exceeds what I spent on my integrated amp and SACD player (also purchased used) by a substantial whole number multiple . . . and that doesn't even count the cost of the RCM that I also bought.
Worse, I dream of even more ways to spend money on vinyl playback: an SDS speed controller or an Origin Live DC Motor retrofit -- another cool $1000 either way.
Sick, I tell you, sick!
