I've had a turntable for the last twenty years. Part of the draw of owning one is the "hunt" of finding records to play on it via eBay and rummage sales. I just love the sound, it is much richer. We recently had a flood and I am eager to get my setup reconnected to make sure everything works. I currently have an RCA but if I were to buy a new one I would get an Audio-Technica.
