Yes. That's the average price for one at the time, but this is near mint + has an almost perfect condition dust cover.

Good idea, however for these things it's great to KISS

One - it's a really good deal considering. My 1200mk5 - near mint without a stylus was $950 used around two years ago from memory.

Nah not overly better, a lot of the cheaper models are just rebrands I've found. As the other commenter mentioned, an LP70x is the better…

I'd agree if you're a hard core vinyl person, I personally have a SL1200 Mk5 with an Ortofon 2M Blue. But this isn't for someone like…

Good spot, I'll update it soon haha.

This was my first turntable and it was a great first turntable. Won't scratch records, has auto stop / start and stylus' are plentiful and…

Mine arrived yesterday - it was drop shipped from Audio Active…

Interesting - I've always had major issues with banana boat products and not working. I recall a few times where i burned more then I'd…

Unsure, after the rubbish UI on the SR6011 and issues I had. I'm off Denon haha.

It's got a smidgen less power - 120w at 6ohm, vs 100w at 8ohm. The Yamaha was a better all round choice for me with phono, but I really…

Nah the 1080 has Bluetooth!

I got them to price match the $1295 before I found the $100 off coupon, but yeah they have the other options which would have made it…

The chassis itself is similar in style yes, but it's not the same at all. Think iPhone 6 to iPhone 8 type of thing. Same chassis, but…

Glad to hear you got an impressive upgrade! I'm (somewhat) side grading to this, as I have a Marantz SR6011 I got for $120 used around five…

I believe it's covered in this Andrew Robinson review, essentially its an in place upgrade for more modern features. Ultimately from what I…

Best cash price I've found for the STR-AN1000 listed in Australia - It was cheaper (if you consider the gift cards…

It is unreasonable, nobody would purchase a drive with the expectation that it'd die after a year of usage. Granted this drive isn't for…

It's an attempt to clear out 2TB 990 Evo drives yes

Many reasons. People with anything that's 8/16 and older - it's a cheap budget friendly upgrade vs buying a new board, RAM, spending more…

Got two of these for my girlfriend for her home office - cheers!

It's both a fabricated problem - e.g likely $$$ in this case. It's not "just" a USB connector, it uses the connector but as old mate…

Depends. I really just want it for a home server, I had a 9700t (which is 35w and less power, so in an ideal world I'd use this) but…

Brand new or used? Was it a consumer laptop (Hardly Normal, JB, etc) or a Business laptop (Probook, Elitebook, etc? If its brand new you'd…

Because people have realised how excessively overpriced they are, they've also been pushing prices up too. It's also one of the first…

Has anyone dealt with these before? Have been considering getting my will done for some time..

They're both ebay? Haha

Yeah I'd say that it's almost exactly the same machine minus the 512GB SSD. The CPU is exactly the same but just a slight bit faster (you…

This isn't a bad deal at all - I work in IT and have a Probook 450 G7 that I got for free (somewhat "consumed" battery) and it's solid. As…

Really good price, SSD reviews decent for what it is. Great SSD for people with systems stuck in PCI-E 3 - e.g socket 1151, 8th and 9th Gen…
