But If if you need a TT., That's a different story...... I'd make sure everything works and See what the guy wants for everything....(Tell him Lets make it a package Deal) for??? that's only if you need the speakers.....Or have the room for them.......One small tube amp 6 to 15 watts would sound killer...Try to find out the age of this stuff..Good luck..If the TT needs a new cartridge, it could be some bucks($50-100 bucks) and if you're giving close to $150.00 plus new cart etc.. or have to spend to much more you could be getting a "Project entry level" TT with new cart... or Rega p1......new or used in great shape......... See What you can do...
He has the ad set at $450 for everything... not gonna happen. I've been told $125 for the TT and receiver. They are both from the mid 70s as far as searches have told me. He says there's a new cart and stylus on it. Anybody know anything about an Empire 3000E cart? I'm finding nothing on it, but it'll probably get used until I can afford to upgrade that to something better. No info on the stylus, but he said the stuff was from LPGear, so it's likely the LPGear branded stylus that's on their site now.
Need better speakers, yes, have room for them, no. And regardless, I don't have the other $325 he's asking for them, and don't see them being worth another $325 anyway.
For now I'll probably be using some older (mid 80s maybe) mid range Cerwin Vegas with the setup
A tube amp is on a long wish list... after speakers, headphone mods, a DAC, etc.
