I have a confession to make: I don't own a record player.  Well, not that I use anyway. I have an old, old one sitting in the attic of my parents house but the last time I used it the George Harrison record I listened to was brand new.  Now, for a while I've promoted the revival of vinyl as our main tangible music form since it delivers the highest level of audio performance.  That's just a fact, but a fact that I cannot go home and experience myself.  So I put it to you, Indaba, help me buy a record player.

I'm looking for a good mid-level model.  Something that will deliver true audio without any unnecessary add-ons that will only increase the price.  Does anyone out there have a suggestion for me?  I'm looking to buy one soon so make haste and email me at Streeter@IndabaMusic.com with advice.  Thanks, Indaba.  I know you'll come through for me.

I saw an awesome one at the new John Varvatos store that took over the CBGB's space. I can't remember what it was called, but you should go check it out.
