Best place to get a record player?

[Brighton Breezy]

Im getting a new one and knowing that there are a load of vinyl loving music fans on here, thought I would ask them where best to buy one at a reasonable price?

 

[CHAPPERS]

Richer Sounds.

Innit.

I just bought a vintage steepetone box record player. Lovely job £89

Where from?

How much were speakers?

 

[tinx]

Always richer sounds, I got one of mine form their a few years back, excellent value for money.

 

[Theatre of Trees]

Ditto Tinx. Richer Sounds.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Richer Sounds is the NUTS.

And that's another FACT.

 

[alan partridge]

OK

Richer sounds

Sounds a little bit like your first name too. What you waiting for?

*putshandtomouthandgoespfffffffffffft*

Good.

They keep their prices down by having really small shops you know.

 

[Everest]

And really small shops means...

less things in them.

Good luck Richie. Ask McGhee how much he wants for his.

One more time.

RICHER SOUNDS

Richer Sounds very often have better offers on the net. See what you like in the shop and then look it up online.

 

[Cian]

You lot think Richer Sounds is cheap?

They pulled out ofIreland because even the independent shops had them by the nuts. Peats was often 50-60% cheaper, and its an expensive shop.

If you see a price on the net, you can ring up and order it from the branch BUT make sure you take a printout of the web page with you so if the price goes up you can show them the offer. They usually honour the lower price.

If it were me I'd be looking for KEFS speakers (in the mid-range price, as these super-expensive ones are often hi-technology but no better sounding).

A quality tuntable with variable speeds that auto-returns the arm at finish of play, and perhaps a good Stanton cartridge.

The amp would be valve for me, but NAD seems quality otherwise.

 

[Cian]

Deck(s) would have to be Technics. Their parent company Panasonic as a close second.

Amp - NAD are OK, Denon also. Got a NAD myself, and a Denon minisystem

Speakers - Mission or Monitor, depending on what the music is. Classical stuff is richer on Monitor, electronic and rock on Mission.

From the amp to the speakers, ensure you're using oxygen free bi-wired cables.

If you're throwing a tuner and a CD deck into the mix Denon and Technics respectively.
