buy the new Technics MK2 turntable, its a dj turntable, but h as a great audiophile tonerm, dr=irect drive, als weighs about 30 pounds, and is reliable for about 20 years at least, i have had mone for 11 years now, and NOT ONE PROBLEM!!! its the best out these. but no automatic return its all manual. and i use an ortofon x5-mc cart for amost everything, i use the oprtofon nightclub e for my metal lps as it has a 7 for the output and the bass and EVERYTHING is loud and tight, what a sound from vinyl, plays better than about al;l my cds!!! there is no sub for vinyl, the warmth, airy-ness, mood it creates is astounding, especially older metal, it is just the law
