My two Marantz 6110's are modest belt driven tables with old Audio Technica carts and thanks to my good buddy
@Govany one of 'em has a great low mileage stylus on it.So,i'm not super picky about the LP's i buy.I always go for best available of course until a better copy comes along.As long as it ain't warped like a bowl or scratched like Death Valley it's going to get played.
Like all of us i've been at this a long time and in my case i honestly don't think i can tell the difference.Everything sounds good to me. I believe i must be on the low end of the audiophile spectrum.
