Check this baby out, My dad is putting together a system for his old school records and he won this on ebay, Transcriptors Hydraulic Reference turntable.

He also got these speakers to go with it

The rest of the system is
2x CYRUS MBLOC POWER AMPLIFIER
2x AVI mono block amplifiers
TAG MCLAREN AV32R AV PROCESSOR
Yamaha CD player
Glad I don't live with him any more :ROTF:

The turntable is built like a tank but it sounds better than my Thorens ever did.
Still got my beautiful "Voyd" turntable~pure class.....best of British.
But then for £2000 20 years ago it should be :)

Still have two Turn tables and at least 450 of what used to be about 700 Albums.

Looks great; replace the needle and rip the records to HDD (after post processing for noise reduction and decompression to restore a bit of impact), then sell it and the records. (Back the music up on DVDs).
I normally do this in the winter (between games) and am about 1/2 way through the stack of vinyl. Figure around 50-60 minutes per average LP.
Enjoy!
