I am replacing my 1980s model having at last sorted out some storage place for my record collection. I plan to use it with my original amp, lovely 1950s speakers, but the analogue tuner and tape player will go!


Meant to go to Richer sounds yesterday and may still pop in tomorrow.


Any advice? Not sure why I would want a USB model (amp just takes raw wire input). What else has changed in the last three decades?


Plan up to a couple of hundred, I understand that this is nowhere near top of the range, but I doubt whether my record collection is in great condition!

I hadn't followed this thread in recent posts, but was about to conclude that I had bought a British made Rega from Billy Vee Sound Systems in Lee. Found details in part by accident on line, should have just read the above recommendation,


Anyway brilliant, enjoying my old vinyl again. Thanks all.


And now gone up one further on this thread to find Billy Vee. Serendipity!

good choice on the rega.. you'll have no regrets there.. as an upgrade you might want to buy a white belt for it as it does make a noticeable difference

if you do decide have a purge on your vinyl at all you know where i am

Bottom of the range RP1

Playing with a 1982 amp, 1950s speakers, 1997 CD player and 2016 turntable. Still sounds good though.

I binned by 1985 tape deck and my 1970s tuner. No valves sadly....


Nice to go to a specialist and talk it through. Richer Sounds were OK but not as helpful

    • The top front tooth has popped out.  Attempted to fix myself with repair kit bought from Boots, unfortunately it didn’t last long.  Tooth has popped out again.  Unable to get to dentist as housebound but family member can drop off.  I tried dental practice I found online, which is near Goose Green, but the number is disconnected.   The new dental practice in FH (where Barclays used to be) said it’s not something they do.  Seen a mobile dental practice where a technician comes to your home and does the repair but I’m worried about the cost. Any suggestions please? Thank you 
    • So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag.   Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't  be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses.  Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen.  Hungry people become angry people very quickly. 
    • Eh? Straight ahead of what?  If you turn left at Goose Green, as you also posted above, you end up at the library. Then the Grove. Then, unless you turn right at the South Circular, you end up at Forest Hill!
    • yes I’ve spotted this too — it’s near me and I’m very intrigued to see what it’ll be 👀👀👀👀
