Hi all .
I am looking for a turntable for my son .
I would prefer a decent second hand turntable from a careful owner than a cheap new one .
Perhaps someone is thinking of upgrading theirs or perhaps getting out of vinyl .
Budget flexable around 300 euro.
Thanks

Re: Seeking Turntable
Thanks Wills .
Yes I see the Technics deck and it looks like a very interesting and reasonable deck.
i have however now secured a Rega planer 3 deck , which i was looking for , if available , and it ticks all the boxes ,because of its simple setup and reliability, and the fact that it is being sent to Spain to be set up in his apartment there where he lives .
I had a Rega planer 3 before and think it is a great turntable for him.
I had a linn Sondek myself before I changed for a Clearaudio performance , which is similar to the Rega with its rigid chassis and simple design .
Good luck with selling the Technics though .
