JVC QL-Y3F Turn Table

[Berean]

Greetings,

I'm kind of getting back into vinyl and currently using a BPC pioneer. I came across a gorgeous
JVC QL-Y3F turn table with an ADC 'Golden' VLM cartridge with a ADC XLM100 needle (I have yet to see or hear it in person). The owner wants $350... it seems a bit high but it was a high end deck as I understand it.

Is this truly a quality deck?
What seems to be an honest price for it? I realize it's not a in a GW for $25.

Cheers,
Mark

JVC QL-Y series are quality tables from JVC although Y3F is in the lower end. $100-$200 is fair value based on the condition. $350 is just too much you can get a QL-Y5F from EBay with that money.

Thank you for the info. I don't know what it's like in your area but even on CL everyone wants big money for almost any TT...

It is the same here. I turned out bought my own off EBay.

Not only is that too much money, but if you buy one be sure that the arm functions are all 100% before purchase. That one has unobtainium chips in the arm circuit. I have a JVC myself, so I'm not hating, but my QL-A7 has a high quality manual arm. Much less to go wrong.

The QL-A7 is the way to go, it's a great TT!
