Well, my trusty 7 year old Arcam 8SE has just decided to give up the
ghost. The local dealer have called Arcam who say it will probably need
a new laser. Cost £200 quid.

Don't have quite the same budget as wehn I bought the 8SE. What do
people reckon? Pay the 200 quid? Or will I get something as good for
200-300 quid these days?

Thanks

Toby
