Yamaha p-520 turntable
Does anyone know much about this turntable? I inhertited it a few years ago as I was helping clean out a building for sale. Just wondering how it compares to some new, yet inexpensive turntables. I'd like to pick up something in the near future like a Rega or a Pro-Ject in the $400 to $600 range. Recommendations are welcome.
