To avoid trashing Mike’s thread any further
The deck here
was definitely a Pro-Ject. The guy said that it was a slightly older model and that the modern equivalent is £600, so Google suggests that it might be a Debut EVO.
Having said all that I didn’t buy anything of that ilk, instead taking @thebiglebowski’s advice and bought a Rega Planar 1 Plus in walnut
because it ticks all the boxes and I like how it looks. Should arrive later this week.
