If you are not familiar with turntable set up,maintenance,etc. go with a new(all inclusive,already set up)package.Just my opinion,others may disagree and that's perfectly fine with me.Good luck in whatever path you choose to follow.
linn axis vs pro-ject debut III
hello,
I am planning to add turntable in my system and debating between these two:
- late 80's linn axis with Linn Basik LV X tonearm, a Linn K9 stylus and the 45 adapter for $340. the guy hasn't use it for 8 yrs or so.
- pro-ject debut III for $399
pros with the Linn: very well established TT maker and i heard very good things about the linn axis
cons with the Linn: the cartridge and stylus are discontinued, so it's gonna be hard and expensive to maintain
pros with the pro-ject: very well known entry level TT from what i have read and heard.
cons: I don't know how this one compares with the Linn.
If anybody in the forum has experiences with any of these two. please give some input and suggestions of what should i get.
thank you
