"Graham Holloway" Try RS Components. Ring them on 01536 201 201 and ask for a catalogue/CD. Best regards Graham Holloway IMO, there are some things that can't easily be replaced by electronics for optimal ergonomics.

The message from "Cornucopia" contains these words: For Sale: Michel Focus One vinyl deck fitted with a Linn Basik arm & cartridge. I have owned this since new and it has had very light use, so it's in very good condition throughout. Very happy to demonstrate if you like - I live near Dunstable, Bedfordshire.

Kurt Hamster wrote in news:rUmdnUTxy7rO- : As has been shown in several threads over the last couple of days there is a need to separate vinyl discussions from the mainstream audio group.

Hi, I have an original GyroDec (serial number 004 to be precise) and I payed £500 for it - it came with a Fidelity Research FR64fx tonearm (+original box & instructions) and a decent MM cart. So I'd say that the price you've been quoted is way out of line and way too expensive. As for the arm, go heavy! Graeme

Hi - I've followed the raging debate on uk.rec.audio and would just like to add my support for the vinyl newsgroup. At last a haven where I'm not told (told mind) digital is better. Marvellous. Hope it goes through and thanks to all those who put in the effort. Rob (remove getridofthis to reply)
