I have a load of different decks, my lencos, a jbe dd, jvc dd, roksan xerxes, technics sl150, a 301, you are welcome to call in some time for a listen to a few. Dont take an internet opinion as anything other than that. Ive got all drive types and enjoy all of them in different ways, listen first. Mr smiths opinion is not likely to be exactly the same as your own Just because you have a budget of 1500 quid there is no reason to spend it all just because you can. There are hundreds of choices That's good advice, yes I'm still looking. Lots of second hand choices to go for. |

A friend of mine has an older one.
It's a solid, well engineered deck. Uni Pivot arm not to everyone's taste of course.
ChrisB hits nail firmly on head IMO - you are dropping some decent £££ so take your time, go out and listen to as many decks as you can (of differing designs) with an open mind and see what lights your fire. Even Rega, LOL.

Was offered a very nice Acoustic Solid turntable, but unfortunately it is too big to live in the front room. Have to keep the wife happy. Anyway I'm looking at other Acoustic Solid turntables now, they are really well made and have very good reviews.

Yes their decks always look very attractive and German engineering should be decent.

That's great. What cart will you be using? It comes with an Ortofon Red Quintet mc. But will probably change that at some point for a Hana cartridge. |

Sony PS-8750 DD turntable.
Affordable - just - TT made when Sony were at the height of their powers.
If this was a British/German made TT it would cost an absolute fortune.
