JSngry Posted June 11, 2021 Report Posted June 11, 2021 Are you finding these w/o too much effort? I know I used to see Edison 78s in the bins reasonably often, but never anybody like Fletcher Henderson! Quote

The fact is my old one was a fairly cheap starter ProJect and, sentimentality aside, it is time to level up. Probably going to go for a direct drive option.

With Rega you can start more basic at e.g. Planar 3 and work up the range. I’ve used a Linn LP12 for many years and swear by it - wonderfully upgradeable but you could start with the core ‘Basik’.

Rabshakeh Posted June 15, 2021 Report Posted June 15, 2021 Thanks! The P3 is one of the ones I am sizing up. I didn't know the Linn LP12 but will check it out. Quote

Very pleased with it but it's belt drive. It was my first attempt to spend more money on kit than music! Edited June 15, 2021 by mjazzg Quote

I didn't know the Linn LP12 but will check it out. The old ‘fruit box’ goes back over 40 years in design terms but over the years Linn and third parties have given options for bearing, power supply, suspension and even outer body upgrades. You can spend from circa £1.5k to £30k+. I think the only original bits on mine are the platter and outer body ! You can also get good UK dealers to build up a s/h LP12 for you - a cost effective option. It isn’t a cheap option but it is built to last. Servicing usually a good move every 10 years or so. Another advantage is that cosmetically it can look very good. I wouldn’t worry too much about direct drive either - good belt drive will usually surpass indifferent direct drive at typical price points e.g. for Planar 3.
