Thanks Charles. I'm with you on this one.
I few months ago I was thinking 'newer must be better' so I brought home the Marantz/Clearaudio table ($1,800) to compare with the Alexandria. I took it back the very next day. I would keep it myself to enjoy but recently found a mint Delphi Mk I. No need for both. These '80s tables are great and incredible bargains when you compare them to similarly priced new tables.
