Hmmmm,
Beware of buying equipment on "sale", avoid the temptation to buy something because it is 20% off (or whatever). Think of the value of the equipment and not a discount. Most places still make money even if they "say" its 50 % off. Guess what? There 50% off is probably only then a fair asking price. After you are all done and know the combination you want then ask for 10 or so %. A dealer will be happy in general to do this on a 5k sale.
Remember Value not a "Deal".
P.S. Have your Turntable properly set up is essential! Make sure you dealer is very good and experienced.
