YoungClay, if this TT came originally from your parents, perhaps they still have an old receiver lying around with a phono input that you can use as a phono preamp to check out the sound. Many older receivers have decent phono preamps built in - you'd just plug the TT into the proper receiver...

Strange. Besides one of my E2C driver enclosures coming apart in halves at one point (just like above poster, superglue fixed that) they've been incredibly durable over three years. I've always kept them in the case. I actually think the thick cable is a strong suit of the design. The only...

I'll toss in a vote for the Alessandro MS-1, only because I think they sound really nice with just about anything I play through them, and more importantly, no matter what is driving them. Clean and clear sound with a decent soundstage and great midrange. My Sennheiser HD580 sound much better...
