Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site

It's a pisser, all right, but a high-demands, OCD hi-fi nut might "realistically" spend years trying to get the most from a "serious" TT/arm/cartridge rig.  IMO, most people are probably better off with something "easy to use", if that is not an oxymoron when applied to even a semi-serious TT/arm/cartridge.  Having owned/used a Technics SP10, I would say that is is relatively easy to use, if not in the "serious" category in terms of ultimate potential.  Dunno about the other TTs just thrown into this discussion via the link to another, but the MS 5000 looks fairly "straight forward" to me.  For openers, I take a single, "nominal"  AC motor and belt or thread drive, along with a heavy, damped platter, as good things to start with.  However, I think the $13.5k might be the least of what's required to make this TT do its best.  Not that this fact would ever dawn on the average punter at the point of initiation...
