    Default FOR SALE - Acoustic Research "The Turntable" c/w Linn Basik/A&R P77

    As a result of a recent family bereavement, we have inherited a well-loved but cared for hi-fi system: this turntable was part of it

    Some pictures here: http://imgur.com/a/lQXLJ

    Fitted with Linn Basik LV X tonearm and A&R Cambridge P77 moving magnet cartridge; tested on 33.3 rpm only, stepped pulley for 45s if required

    Plays well, can demonstrate in BN27 (East Sussex) if required - will only sell complete, please do not ask to split!

    Open to sensible offers, was thinking £275-ish, but let's talk (on private message, please!)

    PLEASE NOTE: no packaging, so this will need to be collected from East Sussex

    Whereabouts in East Sussex Rob? My FiL may well be interested in this (he's in Newhaven) when I know what you want for it.

    Wavy grooves go thru a RigB 540ML on an SL1500C. Digits stream from a cheapie CDP and a Sonos, into a Yamaha 803D driving Kralk Audio little 'uns. I used to have a Linn but I'm better now.

    What's the platter bearing like? Is there any play?
    These turntables can suffer with excessive slop In the platter bearing.
    To check remove the belt and outer platter and rock the inner platter from side to side.

    Platter bearing seems fine - no noise, no "slop" - but you're welcome to check for yourself if interested

    That's a gorgeous looking T/T, Rob. Classically simple, yet elegant! Plus, in its day, it was always rather fine sounding. If someone getting back into vinyl was looking for a starter T/T, or anyone else was looking for a quality T/T for not much money, it would be perfect.

    Good luck with the sale!

    Marco.
