Once the pound fucks up over Brexit it’ll be back to that price :rofl:

It’ll seem cheap when sterling collapses and a Denon 103 will cost a grand :smiling_imp:

Close to a grand with a pod. The pod makes a massive difference IMV.

If I get one it will be the boggo conical

The R is still conical bizarrely :laughing:

If you you really do want a 103 then ring ESCo they often have rebuilt ones with nice stylus fitted for a reasonable price. You would expect an improved sound quality with a better stylus profile.

33

Even more reason to stick.with the original:)

Sounds alright, even with shit curtains

I played the hifi news test record because I saw it flicking though looking for music. The vertical resonance is outside of the band playing (16hz to 6 hz) which strikes me as odd. I would have thought it to be around 13hz given the data. Tone arm mass 6.5g, dynamic compliance 10mm/N weight about 8g with hardware.

What have you set the playing weight to?
Glue a penny (or silver sixpence) to it.
