Q: available like JWIN , Memorex, GPX all have a lot of probelms, thus that's why they're cheap. I need a diamond stylus too, not a cheap crappo thing. Also CD player, dual cassette, am fm radio.

ANY ideas, short of components again, which I used to have?

And if components are the way to go, what do you suggerst"

I really want very reliable and good quality, with great sound and not too soft, like those 20- 30 watt units.

A: You're not going to find a good shelf system that has a turntable. The market for one is too small. There may be one in the future in England if the record revival keeps growing, but for now there isn't as far as I know of.

The problem with the turntable market is they are mainly sold to 3 groups of people since CDs now dominate the market.
1. Audiophiles
2. DJs
3. Penny pinchers.

The penny pinchers are why you are seeing so many low...
