Indeed! I think it needs a better cartridge for the price. The one on offer is going for £30 on Amazon.

Not sure I'd necessarily agree Jez.
I'd value the turntable if in good order, at maybe £180 without an arm, but they can fetch more. The LVV sells for around £100, as does the Rotel phono stage. The cartridge is not worth pricing really, but call it £15.
The comes out at £395!
With a warranty (whatever that may be), I'd see that little lot as being OK for the money.
I don't know if I'm getting out of touch on values but I would say £120 for the TD160, £70 for the LVV, the cartridge is worthless and around £80 for the phono stage. Warranty is useless as all these things are so reliable you ain't going to need a warranty.
Think the phono stage is extra
Hmm I've not priced this gear up on ebay or anything but I think you are over valuing it a bit..... Also the £395 he's being charged doesn't include the phono stage!!!!Quote:

So it is. I missed that, thinking it was £395 all in. In that case it's £95 too dear (sorry Jez :)).Quote:

Poor old Patrick. Asks us a simple question and gets two pages of debate! :D
Thanks for the advice folks, it's much appreciated. Yeah I was suspecting the price was on the higher side. I'm due to see it set up on Thursday, will see if it's negotiable otherwise it's no deal.
He's new... he may make the mistake of asking about cables next and realise just what he's gotten into here... (move away from the keyboard Patrick!:D:))Quote:
