Considering the following two tables, thoughts appreciated...

ProJect Expression III and the Denon DP-500M

Leaning toward ProJect, but would welcome sage wisdom...:)

    The project is a nice table, and comes setup nicely.

    Also have you seen Baggedlancers table in the flea market? He won't ship, but maybe the Polkie Express can get it to you?
    Please. Please contact me a ben62670 @ yahoo.com. Make sure to include who you are, and you are from Polk so I don't delete your email. Also I am now physically unable to work on any projects. If you need help let these guys know. There are many people who will help if you let them know where you are.
    Thanks

    BL's TT may be a little rich for my blood and application. Most of my stuff is vintage and not exactly mint. I need a table to use for ripping my small collection to CD and not as much for new LPs. Thanks for the heads-up.

    Are you sure you are looking at the Expression III. That table is $700 plus shipping, and I don't think it comes with a cartridge.

    I would if I didn't get the Project III, and I had some coin! You are not too far away if you want to sell it when you are done:)

    Funny, it loads fine for me. Yes, he's in Atlanta and well worth the time to get to know. I met Walter a while back and he is an excellent source of info and a pleasure to deal with. Make sure you speak to him because the website only lists retails pricing ;).

    Let me know when you are heading out if you want to meet up. ATL is only about 45 minutes from me.
