I have a fairly good JVC turntable for my old lps, well weighted and strobe- an oldie I got for $10 at a goodwill store- and have looked at some of the fancy turntables, but not all that interested. The old lps are not tops in shape (many bought used at goodwill and used lp specialists).
The classic material is not being put on vinyl anyhow.

BBC Music Magazine this month has an article on Allegri and some other great composers of choral music. Only on cd. I will re-listen tonight to those I have.
The same issue reviews over 100 new cds. I will probably buy a couple.
