Technics or Marantz

Thanks guys but I called and they said they won't have TTs tested / cataloged until this coming Tuesday.

@KrisM I'm not too sure. I believe they're just a consignment store located in Calgary called AllSold (link).

You might get a steal of a deal with them. I bought a projector on ebay that was listed as not working about a year ago. I knew the projector and was 99.99% sure that it had over heated and needed to be re-set, so I got it super cheap. They had no idea that a minute of internet searching could have made them hundreds more with that projector. I think it is the same place you are talking about. I checked the website and there was a Marantz 6200 listed that might be worth checking out at the price they listed. It says "out of stock" though. I don't know what that would mean with them. Even if you don't want it you might still want to buy it. It is listed at $100 less than what I sold mine for a few months ago.
 
I saw that you picked up a table, congrats! But I thought I'd add that there are bunch of tables being sold in Lethbridge that might be worth looking at, if you are up for a road trip. I got an email response, and although I didn't get all of the model numbers, there were a couple of nice Sony models listed. They might be worth grabbing if the price is decent.
I'm not affiliated with the seller, for the record.

Thanks !

If you have not already gone on your road trip, there's a few new turntables that popped up at All Sold (located in Calgary).

The Realistic RD-8100 looked promising until I read:

Condition: Used. Spins, but unable to get sound (Could be user error)

... :scratch2:
 
I don't have any plans to get down to Lethbridge, ever, I think, but you never know. My wife's son got us an Alberta museum/park family pass for X-mas, and we'll be using it this summer. Maybe a trip to see some dinosaurs or museums will net me another table. The guy didn't want to communicate by email, but he did offer up some model numbers. They were mixed up, so maybe he doesn't know what he has.

Thanks for the link. I don't see anything that I'm interested in, but I'm going to keep my eye on their site. Sales that say things like "unable to get sound" can be score in the making.

How are you enjoying your table?

I set up the tone arm incorrectly so the stylus was jumping around on the record but I asked around on AK and was able to fix it. I think I ended up scartching one of my records badly. I can't see the scratch but my stylus gets suck at the point of the 'invisible scratch'. Oh well, it was not a very tresured record anyways.

I'm also looking for a new stylus. My TT came with an AKG P5ED, which was what came on the TT when the seller first bought it.
