The convenient of having control over your system from your seat has an advantage. Turning the volume knob by a push of button or selection of tracks at your CD player are only few things we can do with a single device we sometimes misplaced or lost.
Got lucky few days ago to grab a matching remote to my Nakamichi Receiver & CD player combo.... Now, I gain full control to both gears...
I think Turntable is the most complicated and time consuming piece of audio gear. It requires lot of fine tuning and tweaking to sound good if not the best. Adding extra accessories not only for audio enhancement , it should also looks good as pogi points.
Thanks for looking...
