Having decided to commit myself to the purchase of a good CD player, I'm also thinking of getting a low-end turntable just to maintain compatibility with older or rarer (wierder) recordings that are available only on LP. Specifically, my price range falls in the $150 and below category. I was eyeing the Realistic/Radio Shack LAB1500 that is currently on sale for $99.95, but I'm not very impressed with it. Any suggestions, anyone? Thanks in advance, juey -------- UUCP: {seismo, allegra, rlgvax}!umcp-cs!eneevax!ong ARPA: ong@eneevax.arpa BITNET: ong%eneevax.arpa@WISCVM MCI MAIL: 252-6717

*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MESSAGE *** Many people say, and I agree, that in the price range you're looking at it is very hard to do better than the DUAL-505. DUAL produces some other tables in this price range as well. The reason for the recommendation is the superior nature of the tonearm used, as well as the belt-driven platter. recently bought one, after looking and listening to many tables, and am quite pleased. matt

I have had several very inexpensive turntables made by them, and they have always given good service. You might consider their full-automatic belt-drive model. I think it is called (nowaday) ``sl-b3'', low-end technics stuff like that goes for about $89 to $129.
