    Selling mine soon, as I hardly play records now. It'd be collect though.

    The cartridge is a ZYX R100 by the way.
    Oh aye. Keep me in the loop then.

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    I've recently sold a Luxman PD131 for £500 and also recently bought a Technics SP10 for £500. Both of these do a great job.

    An SP-10 that isnt tatty, working 'properly' with tonearm and plinth, for £500 is dirt cheap - a lot of 'pro' / reference deck

    The problem with a great number of these vintage DD decks is that you can't get spare parts for them anymore, so if something goes wrong it's not a case of an expensive fix it simply can't be fixed, it's something to keep in mind

    Exactly, and why if you want a solid, reliable dd, where parts are available and contrary to popular belief, does not need loads spent on it to sound good, then you just can't right off the idea of a 12XX.
    My previous 1210 sounded fab with an Ortofon 2M Black dialled in

    Indeed Mike, something I've thought about and why Rob I would not rule out a 1210. My experience with 1210s are only from a DJ perspective however they clearly cut it in a home set up and spares/repairs being less of an issue. I guess this is why I've stuck with my TD160. Easy to work on/fettle, plenty of spares going and sounds very good to boot
