    That's true. I'm not a vinyl fanatic by any means and even I've got four of the bloody things.

    Im afraid not.

    13 Cd players has a street cred value of approx 2.25.

    Your 4 turntables comes out at 8.5. (Slightly lower if one is a Technics.) 8.5 is in fact good.

    Adam is the undisputed Street Cred champion. 99.95 at the last count.

    I think you'll find that your street cred value is lower if one of your turntables is not a Technics.

    I Wonder if you would be kind enough to PM me the details so that I can buy the TT, this of coarse would save you any arguments with Her Indoors and your Bank Manager while relieving you of the worry.

    Quite seriously, if you decide not to buy it, please forward me the sellers information, I will buy it.

    And anyway, it's one of those tables that will prompt the sale of all your others, as it performs so much better. So from a equipment reduction standpoint, it has extremely high WAF.
