Is this TT that special ?

[Audio Al]

Just found this on e---

How much

Are they really worth that kind of money ?

[Rare Bird]

Do you want my honest opinion?

Yes

Honestly.

You have to love a trier, it's not even 240v, never mind the fact is 4x what it should cost.

[Dingdong]

It is supposedly quite good. They are quite rare as well. You don't see them up for sale that often.
Is it worth that money? Not to me, but quite possibly to someone else.

I'll be sticking with my MK2 for less than a tenth of the price.

[The Grand Wazoo]

It's not worth 1/2 that much, even if he throws in the arm and plinth he's using with it.

[loo]

think he may have messed up his decimal places

x2- It is the holy grail of the SP Series, tis a trifle expensive!

[prestonchipfryer]

No!

Mmmm... It's a difficult one. MK3s are rather rare, and considerably better than MK2s, which themselves aren't exactly shabby!

Yes, the price is a little OTT, however, would anyone care to bet that, when in a plinth, with a decent arm and cartridge fitted (the latter needn't be super expensive), it wouldn't be as good as or better than the 15, 20 or £30k high-end 'audiophile' T/Ts, regularly reviewed in HFN or Hi-Fi+?

I wouldn't!

My biggest bugbear about the ad? It's a fooking STEP DOWN transformer, ya muppet - a step-UP transformer is something entirely different!!!!
