Project RPM 6 with Project 9CC Tone Arm and Speedbox
My first proper turntable with plenty of upgrades. Hoping to go to someone off here rather than on eBay where it will head soon.
Project RPM 6 (originally around £800 when new I think but retail used for £400-500 now), with
- Project 9CC Precision Full Carbon Tone arm, six months old, retails at £500
- Henley Silent bearing kit - £25
- Cardas Tone Arm wiring - £35 (+labour)
- New Project terminal Junction box - £10
- New Belt - £15
- Granite Plinth - £80
- Spike shows for plinth - £15
- Project Heavyweight Puck - £80
- optional Project Speedbox (6 months old - boxed with receipt from Amazon) - £100
The upgrades on this unit took an already good deck into the realms of a great deck in my opinion. The arm made a huge different over the standard two piece alloy one, and the additional of the internal wiring made it sound really very good.
There is a small mark on the platter and where they have joined the pieces together - tried to show it in the photos, other than that its in excellent condition but has some minor usage marks. Two cart tags have had heat shrink added recently and re-soldered.
Its difficult to price due to the extras. Recently a standard unit sold on eBay for £420, and before that others have gone for around £400-500, so with this in mind at the cost of the tone arm and extras that are fitted (not mentioning the labour costs involved in fitment and setup!)
£600 - with no power supply
£625 - with plinth and shoes, no psu
£675- with Speedbox and plinth/shoes
I would be ok to sell arm and TT seperately if anyone wants to do that. Turntable would have to go first though.

Ortofon Rondo MC Moving Coil Cartridge
Rondo Red MC Cart -came with a tt I bought from a user on here - sounds really good, wooden body gives it a very nice tone for an MC. Would of liked to keep it but the TT had a few faults and needed a bit of work to make right, so need to sell this on to pay for the fixes.
No stylus guard, but I can package well for shipping.
SOLD
