Hi Steph,

Get yourself a first generation Sony Playstation One (the model with the RCA sockets at the back) and pay no more than €20.

I kid you not!

Musical Fidelity A5 CD. €750.

Linn Sondek LP12 with Ittok LV II arm.

The Audio Technica OC9MLII MC cartridge has about 25 hours of use.

Small ding at the front right hand side of plinth (see photo).

Professionally serviced by Keith at the Hi-fi hospital last year.

€1,800

Linn Uphorik Phono Stage (black) in mint condition. I've retained all the original packaging.

I purchased it from new and it's clocked up about 30 hours' worth of listening, so it wouldn't even be fully 'burnt-in' yet.

€1,600

Black Ash Plinth, Basik Plus Arm, K9 Cartridge plus spare K9 Cartridge and stylus, perspex lid.

The small lowering lever on the Basik arm doesn't work and is stuck in the down position, this doesn't effect performance.

€900
