I had not heard of Bang and Olufsen until in the mid 1980s, when I was on a friend’s motorboat. He literally brought his B&O speakers and turntable (and some albums) on the boat, you know, “for tunes.”

As we cruised around the lake at high speed, it literally did not miss a beat.

Bought the tangential tracker in the 70s for about $750. Loved it. I’ve tried to use it occasionally since 1985 but the stylus is a problem on well used albums. It’s mostly a show piece. I don’t think the audio of that age compares to today. Sorry. eBay sells them for Less than a $1000. I do use my Yamaha monitor speakers I bought at the same time every day. Thanks for the nostalgia.
