As good as. - ach! Autocorrect!

Hi Doug, How do you define "just as good ass"? It's different, isn't it? And isn't that a worthy pursuit? Searching for that elusive analogue sound?

I couldn't find a lot either. However, from what I could find it seems that its design was atypical of turntables at the time, emphasizing mass over isolation.

I had hoped to find people with experience of the Mission turntables, but it's nice to hear about the classic speakers as well. I really think the 775 turntables deserve attention too, though. :)
