I am very jealous of people who buy a decently designed turntable that does not cost an arm an a leg, and can be satisfied with it for life. That first step they took, going from direct-driven, plastic tonearm and throw away cart TT, to a belt driven, better finished bearing TT will be the biggest step they can ever make, with most exquisite/intense pleasure of discovery. If they then get the audio sickness, they will go on to spend many many thousands of dollars, over and over, for very modest incremental improvement to sound, and will feel horrible pain in each expensive dissapointing upgrade that did not deliver an improvement anywhere close to that first step. Romy is right in that unfashionable Micros are one way to end the nightmare/hell; but I also hope his writings will not lead to an escalation of world-wide prices for used Micros!Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
