150$ Van Alstyne. Can demo if u can handle my messy house lol!
And here is where honesty arrives.
And.. I like to give THF first dibs over the alternatives... so much BS out there right ?
I don't care for it.
It is microphonic.
However in this case, my speakers are in front of it. This is not always the case for someone else's listening area layout.
I don't care for the auto-stop.
Otherwise its fine. "Low mileage"
Bought new, Dec. 2023.
Cartridge value is about $75 give or take. same low mileage.
I bought it for the switchable pre-amp.
Helps with some Vintage amps. (Use the Aux ports)( Another story)
Some modern or past modern do not have Phono inputs.
Now I have other things to help test,repair and bypass those noisy vintage amps phono inputs. (most are a horrible design but they work. sort of)
I need to move on.
I will eventually get something different.
I might even post up my Dual 1229. Rumble issue.
Maybe I can fix it better than most people. Yet another story.
Vintage can be a real PITA. LOL.
You could do worse, you could do better. Maybe. at an Estate sale lol
Look up this model on the tuber of u.
