I need a new turntable and I'm considering an Acoustic Solutions SP131 on
sale at Richer Sounds for £99.95. I haven't been able to find a review
of
this item and wonder whether anyone has any experience of it.
Thanks in anticipation.

If you look on www.ebay.co.uk and spend £100 you will do a lot better ;-)

If you're careful. I have an old Rega 3 with original S-shaped arm which
has both loose bearings and a knackered phono lead. I would like to replace
it with an RB250 or RB300 - prices of the former regularly reach £90 on
Ebay, plus delivery, yet a new arm only costs £124 ! Conversely, examples
of complete 3's with RB300s and a cartridge can occasionally sell for as
little as £150, although nearer £200 is the norm. I'd rate this a much
better buy, at around 50% of new price.

Ebay is a peculiar market-place.
