    These are great little decks and badly overlooked in my opinion. A bit of a bargain at the price folks.

    +1. Can't see it being too far off a basic LP12, TBH...

    As for this:

    Norbert hasn't been back and hasn't followed up his enquiry into the deck either - think he's probably been frightened off when all he wanted was a nice deck to play his vinyl.
    Rules are rules, Nat. We expect all members to follow the instructions they're given when joining - simples. I've seen you moaning about this before, so please give it a rest and just accept that's how we do things.

    AoS is not, and never will be, just anyone's free audio 'Exchange & Mart'!

    True - I'll give it a rest I promise!

    I never read instructions emailed when joining a website that requires registration - far too many sites need that to read every one when all you want to is make one single comment in an impulsive way.

    Must be a lot of work chasing people up and frustrating fighting against human nature on the web. Also disrupts threads a little I suppose.

    Wont mention it againt though

    Well, Nat, instructions are given for a good reason. If others and you are too bloody lazy to read them, then expect to suffer the consequences for your laziness!

    As for your other point, we're not interested in people joining here simply to make one single comment in an impulsive way, or simply to buy or sell something. We're building a community here, and so are only really interested in those who wish to become an active part of that, and give something of themselves, rather than simply just taking. I've told you before, in terms of our membership, we'd rather have quality here, than quantity!

    Must be a lot of work chasing people up and frustrating fighting against human nature on the web. Also disrupts threads a little I suppose.
    Hey ho, whatever is needed is what will be done, if only not to give into the lazy, selfish fuckers who can't be arsed reading what's in front of them and doing what they've been asked to do!

    Human nature? Not in my world it isn't.

    Good. Therefore, I don't expect to see a reply from you to what I've just posted!

    Hurrmph!

    As a general thing about life in general in using the internet and the modern world in general, with T&Cs coming on for 20 pages these days for every email account, every purchase, every social media site, every wifi hotspot etc any person who is able to adapt well to new technology will learn quickly not to read such things or face being bogged down to a point of the new tech being unusuable. That will be fine for the 99.99'/. of sites and for that 0.01'/. - you don't know which site it might be - that asks something specific of you are bound to politely let you know in due course if you go wrong!

    Internet behaviour becomes homogenised as ways of doing things become standardised, in the same way that people interact or expect to interact with doors in the same way everywhere - natural and efficient adapation to the environment - that if one opens in an unusual way then even with instructions nearby most people will try the usual way first.

    To paraphrase the philosopher Seneca, frustration and anger come from wrongful expectation.

    Anyway!

    Roll up roll up! Lovely turntable looking for a new home - will you be the lucky one?

    Great with lighter arms I've experienced : Hadcock and Audio Technica AT1100 spring to mind - both were used with an AT33 cart to good effect.
