Turntable novice looking for just a level up from entry level turntable complete with arm and cartridge and stylus ready to play. Looking at around £160.

Cheers

How much you want to spend
I think perhaps one of the basic Regas might be a good place to start but sure others will have other suggestions

Hi Dean
What do you mean by level up from entry level ! what would you call an entry level deck? :)

Ok that might be a bit confusing, can go up to 250 all in, and ready to go. Just wanted to dodge the £50 bargains.

Dean,

Hi there.

(nothing to do with me by the way, except that I owned a few of these & their relatives & they are very good indeed).

I agree with Chris..

A lot can be done with the AR 'legend'..The Merrill mods for instance on the 'ES1' are loverly..

I was going to post that for the other guy that wants one! - FIGHT! ;) (Pink Panther - the AR was nearer his max budget, not taking sides against Dean!)

Yup - loadsa potential if you feel like stepping it up a gear - it'll take a very good arm for example. But otherwise it's a very capable machine just as it is.
Go for it I say! (great price too!)

I used my Zeta/Koetsu Black on a Legend for ages - it took it in it's stride.
