Don't forget you will need somewhere to put the TT as well, and depending on your house, you may need a wall mount.

Don't forget you will need somewhere to put the TT as well, and depending on your house, you may need a wall mount.
Don't forget to factor in that your friends and family would then have a much easier time deciding what to get you for Christmas/birthday/Father's day :)
For no logical reason whatsoever, I'll say go for it - when it comes to regrets it's always the things you didn't do that get you.
Technics SL1200 Mk7 is a very viable alternative to the Rega at that price level.
I'm going to advise against it.
Why? Because I think decent vinyl replay requires high precision mechanical engineering that just costs a lot of money before you start to get acceptable results.
You'll soon hear the flaws with a budget setup. And while a very expensive set up can sound absolutely fantastic with some pressings, you'll still hear the flaws with substandard pressings and the surface noise.
I'm just saying it's a dangerous route to take as a retiree.
Just being honest as I see it. It's potentially a huge money pit.
I agree, but it's still very possible to enjoy the pleasure of playing records without ever needing to jump into that money pit :)Quote:

If you tried hard as a retiree you could probably make money with buying and selling vinyl. Plenty of time for that!
