If it makes you feel better, I, the most mild mannered man on the planet (possibly) once smashed a Dual turntable into pieces after wife#1 complained about the way it looked... funniest part was that she gathered all the fragments into a pile and then said “can you fix it?”

Yeh had most the Systemdek before. Already had a 'IIX' . The last one i had was the 'IIS' biscuit tin jobbie. wish id kept that tbh.. I think the systemdek are very underrated decks, they go for peanuts too. Most probably be a Rega i put on it. I dont want to go overboard & fall into the Hi-Fi obsessive stage of the hobby again..
