Am I the only one who had not heard of Margules before? It is a Mexico City audio company that has been in business for years, both in Pro and Consumer space. They make everything from turntables to electronics and speakers. They were super kind and accommodating to me which I really appreciated.

I picked up a TT-10, and have been trying it out as an upgrade over my Rega P5. Objectively, it is a heck of a lot more fun to touch and interact with. Heavy and "serious". The sound.... is a bit of a pain. Massive noise for days, until I realized it needs two grounds, each to different locations on the TT. Once I nailed that. Sound was good.
