those are pristine

i've always been of the ilk that wanted to only use vintage stereo equipment, but one day i'll probably fold and get something modern like that

Ive got a Vintage Marantz which suits me just fine but i feel ive hit the limit to sound quality with my current table. I dont like the tone arm as it feels rather weak and unstable and im ready to jump out of the entry level stuff. Ive upgraded my speakers recently and I think im ready to take the plunge on a legit turntable.

It was pricey but it will be my turntable until I die so why not.One downside of a nice turntable is no tonearm return at the end of a side.

ive never had an automatic tone arm.

So you can vouch for spending money on a good table and increasing overall sound quality ?

A well cut vinyl sounds amazing on it. I doubt there is much difference between an RP-3 and an RP-8 if they have the same needle. I only bought what I did because it was the floor model at a the price of the RP-3.

This is an important moment in time and I can't decide between the gloss white or the gloss black.

This thing is beautiful. Absolutely worth the money so far. Really making my speakers sing. The sound sounds and feels much more stable. Its huge and crystal clear.

And its fucking gorgeous looking.
