:doh: :doh: and :doh: again.

Having sold on my TT and ALL of my vinyl only a few months ago, I am now on the lookout for ........................... another turntable; what is it with this affliction FFS ?

Anyway, as usual, not much of a budget, up to about £250'ish.

If it has an arm, so much the better, cart would be the icing on the cake, but otherwise happy to just buy a deck and look at it for a month until funds allow :)

That kind of money if you willing to go second hand nothing really touches a old Lenco But it may require a bit DIY and/or tender loving care to get the best out of it

Had and built a fair few Lenco's John.

No problem going that route :)

Do what i do just buy a nice sounding system & be satisfied with it, forget about hi-fi & just stop listerning to other people. works wonders.It's an illness see, but the looneys wont admit to it.

:lol:

How come you sold your vinyl in the first place?

Just get a half decent deck and be done with it.. Sometimes you can pick up a nice Pink Triangle with a broken lid but relatively good arm for that money.

As André says, just don't obsess about it.

Problem with Lencos is there's a bit of "scene" so it comes with a lot of baggage and psychological pressure to upgrade with plinths and this and that.

You want one of these, mate. Does away with the need for amplification and speakers. It's a win, win, win situation, surely?

And stereo's not all it's cracked up to be. All this twaddle about 3-D soundstage. Pure fantasy mate. Pure fantasy.

It's not an illness, it's not. I could stop whenever I wanted to.

Stupidity.

Quite like Lencos so the upgrade scene doesn't phase me.

Trouble is, If I wasn't messing about with Hi-Fi, I'd be rebuilding cars or motorbikes. Hi-Fi is safer! :)

Yeah, right :rolleyes:
