What is a typical life span of a stylus or cartrid

I don't think he is discounting the table enough for a demo price. 20% off retail might be considered typical demo price. Perhaps the low cost of this table warrants a lower discount, not sure about that. In this case I would buy new. $70.00 hardly buys dinner.

Good call Viridian. If the new stylus is less than $70, that would seem the way to go.

Thanks everyone for your input.

The Pro-ject table a good choice for someone getting abck into Vinyl?

I wouldn't mind spending the extra for a better table within reason. I can go as high as 650 for a new table.

Thanks again everyone

Does your dealer carry this one? (http://www.sumikoaudio.net/project/products/xpression3.htm) You might also consider the Rega(P2 & P3) table/arm combos, that have motor/arm upgrades available for future performance enhancement.

Yes he carries the Project Expresion 3. In comparison, is it upgradable? Meaning can I upgrade it with better stuff than the debut?

It has been a long time since I owned a turntable. the last one I had was a technics belt drive circa 1983. So the new gear I am new to it. So thank you for all the help.

He does not carry the rega line. There is another dealer that does. I will check out the price range on the Rega tables.

Thanks
