not a popular choice for price/performance, but it is a solid table, and those that love 'em generally keep 'em. i would compare it favorably to an lp12, pink triangle export, or a wilson benesch Act one. the new thorens 160 HD is probably a better value, but the jury is still out on its 'classic' status. i would take the xerxes over my goldmund studio..and thats saying something.
