The early 1980s Technics range - was it the DX? I thought they sounded
absolutely fabulous; dummy hammers, 17 layers of touch, wooden facings,
the lot. They cost \ufffd2000+ at the time. It sems you an get one now for
about \ufffd200.

I dunno, but how come so many of us here can tell the difference between
the real thing and samples?
