Thanks! Took a minute to put together. But I was honestly curious what these 'tables would sound like side-by-side. That Frankenstein makes the rotation to my main listening station A LOT! So, that should say something about how much I like it. As for the Ortofon battle... I think that Hitachi may have a slight edge. Something about it sounds richer than the others. Peace, brother.
