It just seems to me the amount of new members coming here to learn and ask question, the same questions about turntables should have an easy place to find answers. It would make it easy for them to look at the same question a previous member asked that relates to them, post in that forum new threads for their specific question, and for us to respond with links for them to view the answers presented by many members over time.
It would also make the main turntable forum not as cluttered for more technical aspects, and sharing builds and setups topics that a new to the hobby might not have interest in yet saving confusion.
I like to help the new too, as much as possible, but when the same question is in 4-5 new threads a day it gets to much. I'll look and say well someone else will get that one and pass the buck.
I would also recommend a Record specific sub forum for Buying, Masterings, Storage and Cleaning Care. This really doesn't relate to turntables other than needing one to play it. It also doesn't fit well in the Music forum as there is many formats that music is on. Again here new members ask a lot of the same questions because they can't see other threads on the topics.
As it is now it's hard to see and find any of those three topics within the turntable forum. With the advent of so many new to the vinyl resurgence learning would be better served if they had a better layout.

Ok you get multiple voting here and my titles are nothing more than a way to divide the voting and have no weight as to naming a forum.
