I'm Jim
I have felt no need to purchase a new turntable in the last 40 years. I did go through quite a few very good turntables in the 15 years previous though. I'm still more than happy with my L-07D purchased new in 1981 for £1,100 and the equivalent of about £4.5K today taking normal inflation into account. High end turntables seem to have inflated much more though. I did add an SME V as an extra arm about 10 years ago and that cost about double the price of the turntable.
