Can anybody suggest a turntable that can play records that have slight defects
such as warped or off-center? Also, please include the cost with your
recommendations.

The Nak Dragon turntable was designed specifically to counteract such problems
as off-center records.  Its only drawback is its price tag (I think around
$1000 including arm, but without cartridge), which puts it in the price class
of the Linn Sondek, Mission 775, and SOTA tables.

I agree! I wanted to add though that AR and SHINON also introduced
new tables that look very promissing, especially since they cost less
than other high-end tables. I heard the SHINON and I believe it may
be the first table under 600.00 to compare in all ways with the best.

The current discussion about turntables has reminded of a question I have
about turntable mats. I recently bought a Dual 505-II (which is a vast
improvement over my Sony - I love it!) and I replaced the mat it came with
with an anti-static mat. A friend pointed out that the mat might be there
for more reasons than just to keep the record from slipping. Is there any
truth to this?
