The Fluance RT85 Reference turntable retails for $500. That’s very important to me from a historical standpoint, so allow me to elaborate. I came up with the $500 Rule for turntables back in 1998, during […]
7Ray’s Jazzy Zoetrope is the inaugural release from Pro-Ject Records–yes, that Pro-Ject, the manufacturer of some of the most popular turntables in the world. When I first received an email from the Pro-Ject people, it […]
