Cheap Turntable

HI Again:

I'v been offered a Clearaudio Emotion with tonearm Satisfy and cartridge Aurum Classics.

It is quite new, about 1 year old.

What do you think?

Thank you

Ccereda, have you heard the Clearaudio and did you like how it sounded? I would suggest you listen to it before committing to buy. I heard an Emotion/Satisfy an expensive Clearaudio MC cartridge (can't remember which one).

On Janis Ian records it sounded wonderfully detailed and revealing however on a more varied range of music it sounded overly bright and lacking in weight as if there was an uplift in the upper mid-band. So I would say that the Clearaudio would not be to everyone's taste so check it's yours.

Flyingred: Normally I would listen very carefully before buying. But since I want something just until the end of the year, I do not care too much, as long as it sounds better than my Philips FP 775 and I can resell it easily without loosing too much.

What I am carefully listening at is better turntables to make my final choiche (budget of about 3.000-4.000 € all included).
