Found a Fisher turntable
#3

If you want a Fisher turntable, keep your eyes open for a The Fisher 401 or 502, which are rebranded Perpetuum Ebner changers. From what I have read, the P-E changer is actually a very good quality unit. The BSR is okay if you like wow, flutter, and odd microphonic noises coming through your speakers while you are playing your records. I thought BSR was okay, years ago, until I acquired a second hand Technics direct drive turntable. I think it was an SL-D3. Wow, what a difference. I wish I still had it.

I thought about getting a 401 or 502, but I ended up with a nice Realistic LAB-440 direct drive turntable which works very well. Maybe not quite as nice as the Technics, but it will do. Icon_smile
