Umm with respect, Marc ... the OP said he wants to spend $500 for a "nice deck and phono amp". So I suggest the Music Hall offer is waaay over his budget.

Administrator Marc Posted April 20, 2017 Administrator Share Posted April 20, 2017 I overlooked the phono amp bit. But, with memory still fresh from when I ventured into vinyl for the first time, it would pay to wait longer, save more, and spend a little more budget than your $500 combined. I bought an "entry level" turntable at 4 times that budget that ended up costing a lot more in the long run for what should have been a $600 turntable at best.

Full Range Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Best option is to get a new Project TT model to your budget For $598 you can get a new Thorens TD 158 from an SNA sponsor 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Orange Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 How about the Pioneer PLX500. Fully loaded including a cart and built in phono stage. I have not heard this model but the bigger brother PX1000 is excellent for the money. https://www.storedj.com.au//pioneer-plx500-turntable-in-black-cartridge-included?gclid=Cj0KEQjwuOHHBRDmvsHs8PukyIQBEiQAlEMW0DafNNmxfWkMxY6eaK5gNIOIkfIe224gIbG0-3aVCmAaAoE_8P8HAQ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeVit Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Thanks for the suggestions guys, it's not my first foray into vinyl however, I have fond memories of my planar 2, RD11 and a couple of pro-jects, debut III and RPM 4 oh and a nad 533. I have seen the offerings from pro-ject and will probably buy if nothing turns up here, I'm appreciating all the suggestions, thank you.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeVit Posted April 20, 2017 Author Share Posted April 20, 2017 Thinking about it, the planar 2 with goldring mm 1012 playing through my old exposure super xv feeding a pair of royd Abbott speakers was a mighty fine combo back in the day.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EV Cali Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 (edited) Hi Lee I am in Brisbane and currently have a near new Stanton T92 listed on ebay. opening bid $175 buy it now $250 . The cheapest price for this TT new is currently $449. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/142354198036?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649 This TT came with a record collection I purchased and had only been used to transfer the collection to digital. You have the option of using the in built phono and when you decide to up grade you will probably be able to recoup all your out lay. I have a Rega Planar 2 for my main TT. Afraid it is not for sale.

That is a really good deal. Perhaps you could post a mention of it in the Turntable thread. Looks very similar to a P1 and a lot cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaveR Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 The deal expires 24/4, or until stocks runs out... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
