My wife once left one spinning for a week, there was a new groove cut on the record, and the stylus was peppered, unsurprising so as it had been turned into the worlds first fetish cart. I'd buy the Debut if that was what I wanted, or get a tape deck and record the records I wanted to play onto tape. You can get amazing copies from vinyl onto the tape decks that for sale for pennies these days. I've been selling a Sony TC-K611S, that was over £300 brand new, one of the best recorders around, I'd take £60 for it with over a hundred pre-recorded tapes, and I've not had a sniff yet.
