Yes, I am a Connoisseur sucker. This one came up on Gumtree today: http://www.gumtree.co.za/a-turntables/tableview/hi-fi-turntable-good-condition/1001347788300910120741709
I was wayyyyyyyyy too slow on the draw but I managed to get the quicker cowboys name out the seller (who was loving fielding calls for the turntable he sold
oint: ). Bingo. I have his number :2thumbs:
Made a 'more' offer and went to pick up tonight...
I am heading out of town so I cannot give this one a spin till I get back but I sure am looking forward to see how this souped-up BD1 performs :groovy: :groovy: :groovy:
:thumbs: Cart looks good - holding thumbs that nothing has collapsed and that the diamond is still serviceable.
:thumbs: I have never tried the SME 3009 SII improved with the damping trough. Who knows I might set aside my prejudice for that iteration of the 3009 SII
:thumbs: funky looking record clamp that I have never tried before
:thumbs: most importantly I can see how much further up the great-hifi-on-the-cheap road this Connoisseur BD1 has travelled
