Indeed. I've always liked the 'industrial chic' of Martin's T/T. I also love the way mine looks, too.

If you look at images of the new Palmer 3 turntable it looks like he uses a Blue Horizon on the platter as standard. Lovely looking deck, yours for
£3000+.

Always was. Always will be.
One of the biggest lies ever told was that only certain kinds of people should listen to certain kinds of music.
