I am considering several used sme 20 turntables.

While I prefer a newer model with the current power supply, I am tempted by the much lower prices on units which are 2-4 years old. Have not bought a turntable since my 1986 Linn LP-12. Thoughts?

Many thanks, Ed

You won't go wrong with any version of this table. I have owned the most recent power supply as well as the previous one (twist knob). (20/2 IV.Vi arm) The newest power supply is a little more transparent and continuous. It's a nice step up. Dramatic no. Nice yes. I'd try going to the newest version but negotiate it down a little :) It's big step up over you LP 12. You will be amazed at the difference...no matter which power supply option you choose.

The second generation power supply is quite competent. The third generation looks cooler, though.
