I can name you a half-dozen dealers in Toronto, within an hour's drive or so, that still do TT/Cart setups.
I can name you at least the same number , if not close to double, the number of good quality record shops that have excellent product to avail yourself to.
You don't have to have 2,000 LP's to have a good collection. Most of those are likely just sitting on a shelf collecting dust. Better to cull and seek out some others.
Is it still set up by the time you make the half hour drive back home?
Gotta love this thread; not only is it argument bait, it is an attack on individuals from the first post. If we believed in our own rules, this one would have been close as soon as it opened.
