I can't imagine an SP10 ever being cheap. I wonder what the inflation adjusted price would be?

I don't know enough about Technics decks to comment but I suspect it is better than a god knows how old SP10 unless it has been comprehensively checked out and serviced.

On the face of it I know which I'd rather have but I am not spending £20K on any record deck. It certainly looks better made due to modern manufacturing and the platter does look better/more expensive to produce. What difference that makes in reality I can't say.

Techie experts?
