Oh hang on, I have a PL-71 to refurbish Needs the arm bearings sorting, arm rewire, psu recap and off boarding, motor board recap, micro switches changed.

Will that be good enough though

Don't get a fucking Rega! Please!

Kenco, Gerrard, Sonny, Pieoneer, etc they're all good at the right price for the condition. Or not so good at the wrong price for the condition.

Doing up your PL71 would be valid. Starting off with the essentials to get it turning at the right speed. And then maybe not bothering with the arm bearings and rewire and the off boarding - depending.

Just stick the Liar Aygo on whatever turntable you go with.

You’re welcome to listen to my humble Lenco against my belt drive once able to visit other households

Thanks Peter. I will probably take you up on that offer when the time comes. Would be great to meet you some time.

I need to hear more decks as I have lived a very sheltered life (in hifi terms) .

Here's what happens when you listen to a Rega turntable:

Clearaudio are even worse.

I think there maybe a few who disagree.

Put that down to inexperience

Possibly, but many seem happy. Inexperienced or not.

35 years ago I was very happy with the Halfords stereo in my Toyota Corolla.

Hi-Fi can a rabbit hole. Sometimes I envy those who have managed to stop digging.

Had my Rega Planar 3 since 1983.
