Now if we could only get some good, reasonably priced tables and
tonearms......I don't consider no-suspension lightweight tables with
MDF bases good.

Then get an SL-1200. Buy one for $500, throw on an SME arm, get a more
solid armboard, a $1000 cartridge and an outboard power supply and you
might be able to get better performance than a stock Rega P3-24 with a
$400 Dynavector.

Now you're talking about three grand for a DJ table.....Bull****.
What we need is a good cheap clone of a LP12, or a Merrillized AR, or
something along that line.

Yep, exactly. And people are doing it.

Finding nicely restored ARs and Thorens TD-124s might be the way to
go. I'm looking into it.
