Plus you need your akiva which doubtless costs more than £1400 new even with a discount. I paid £7.5k new for arm, cartridge and deck so they are almost exactly the same.

I havent checked every deck ever made and likely something better can always come along. But so far its the one best suited to me.

Wadia - the bubs they are a changin. Best get in and sell him 10ks worth of cable while the mood is on him
