Turntables For Sale

Turntables For Sale
We have a variety of turntables for sale in the store. We thought it might be a good idea to give an overview of what we currently have available. There are a couple new models and a few used models (all checked to make sure they are in fine working order).
For starters, we have a nice affordable model made by Audio Technica – the AT-LP60 model.  It’s $99.95 and has replaceable parts (good for the long haul). You can hook this up to a line or phono toggle so you can hook it up to your stereo system (components with pre-amp) or you can plug it right into your computer (or other line device).


 

 If you’re looking for some audiophile grade equipment then we have the Rega RP1 for sale at a price lower than you’ll find on the internet anywhere (I am actually not allowed to say while on the internet here). It’s the turntable we have set up at the front of the store.
For this turntable there is minimal parts (to keep mechanical noise to a minimum). There is only a phono output so you are going to need a pre-amp. Honestly, if you are looking to get into this turntable you are probably going to want to look into high quality stereo equipment from top to bottom (speakers, components, etc.).  

For used turntables we have a few at the moment (we never have the same one twice!). The first one we want to tell you about is a Sony model that comes with speakers and a receiver. Basically with this you are all set to go. This is yours for $100.
You don’t have to buy anything extra. The Turntable is the PS-LX2 Turntable. The receiver is the STR-VX4 Receiver and the speakers are mounted on stilts.

 Finally, we have two vintage Beograms that have actually never been set up for use (still have the foam between components). They are both $175. The TX2 has the added benefit of having a speaker built right in (or you can gladly hook it up to your stereo).

 The original boxes are here and the 8000 has all of its original instruction manuals too!

Here’s an unsolicited email our distributor got from a customer who recently picked up a P1:

“Hey, I gotta tell you, buying that turntable was the best purchase ever! It’s like I have a whole new record collection! Clean, transparent and warm, it’s really amazing. Thanks!”

Stereophile Review:

“The Rega P1 marks the first time in my experience that a designer whose work sometimes ranks with the very best you can buy, has created an audio component this affordable. And by affordable I don’t mean relatively affordable, as with our favorite entry-level Koetsus, entry-level Wilsons, and even entry-level Linns. I mean affordable as in cheap, as in sane, as in reachable by anyone with a job.

The all-English-made Rega P1 also marks the first time in recent memory that a high-tech company hasn’t resorted to outsourcing in order to bring to market a high-quality, very-high-value product. Kudos to Roy Gandy for his ingenuity in doing so, and for keeping Rega’s work among Rega’s people.

Consider: A brand-new SME Model 30 record player costs approximately $35,000 when equipped with its companion Series V tonearm. I’ve never had one in my system, but I suppose that the 30 is at least pretty good, and that buying one would be an effective way of making yourself happy. Then again, you could use the same amount of money to buy a hundred or so Rega P1s and give them to a hundred or so friends whose music-buying habits could benefit from the motivational equivalent of a good, swift kick in the ass. That would probably bring lots of happiness into the world as well. Very strongly recommended. “
