Hi James,

Good purchase For some reason the Systemdek IIX and IIX900s are much under valued in the UK. Excellent decks IMO - and for once a suspended deck with a sensible and easy to adjust design. Not the least surprised it beat a P2 - its in a league above I'd say.

Me? I'd make an armboard and try the RB250 off the P2 and see if you like it better than the Linn. If so then sell the P2 with arm and buy a secondhand RB250 or 300 ... or keep the arm and sell the armless P2.

TBH there's not much in it a P2 with arm seems to fetch not a lot more than the arm on its own on ebay ... might be worth taking the bearing/platter and the motor/switch and selling them seperately - you'll get more than if you sold as a bundle ... seems a bit of sad end for a good deck though and a secondhand RB250 isn't as risky a proposition as some other arms secondhand (and Rega will fix it for free if it has a problem).
