Forum rules
Note that Tir Na HiFi does not take any responsibility for transactions arranged or carried out here. It is up to the seller and buyer to check each other out! Please be sensible folks, and if there is something you think is wrong, let a mod know, OK?
To make it as clear as we can, here are some simple guidelines:
a) like any forum, the success of tirnahifi is entirely dependent on discussion. All members are encouraged to participate in discussion of music, hifi, etc.
b) tirnahifi is not designed to be, nor intended to be, a marketplace. Any member who uses the site merely for selling will be looked on suspiciously.
c) those members who choose to sell on the site should be aware that the mods do keep an eye on the stuff for sale, plus the demeanour of the seller. Sometimes we may lock/delete/ban a sales thread on this basis.
d) honesty is paramount in all selling transactions. Commercial sellers who label themselves as such are accepted at the discretion of the moderating team.
e) All ads have to include information about age, price, provenance, etc.
f) THE MODERATING TEAM RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE ANY ADS AT THEIR DISCRETION.
g) Commercial sellers should approach any of the moderation team in advance of posting. First time commercial posts without moderator contact will be removed.

It looks as if you have about 50 LPs, if you are not intent on adding to your collection then it might not be worth spending a small fortune on a TT either, just a thought.
I did not actually count the Rock and Pop vinyl albums that I listed there Seán but I would probably have at least the same if not more in Classical as well. I simply do not know where this is going to lead....

Not to worry he is in the right place for sane advice whenever he needs it :)
I don't listen to a huge amount of vinyl and purchased a Project years ago, the Debut III (perhaps it was a II back then). For the money I thought it was a great buy. I soon upgraded the cartridge to an Ortofon Super OM40 and it made a nice improvement. I have no hesitation in recommending it if you don't want to spend much.

Well Dermot, after that statement you have just lost all credibility, do you realise that? LOL
