I used to own the Timbre TT-1, talk about a blast from the past, cool looking and good sounding piece. However my system then was a far cry from what it is now so I can't really say how it holds up. Worth checking out perhaps pretty sure I paid $800 for mine used in like 2002 if you can find it now can't imagine it would be much more than $500ish? Worth a flier at that price.
