Selling the last of my hi fi system. I bought this Rega Planar 25 new in 2000. The Benz Ace MC cartridge was installed by the late and legendary Brooks Berdan.
It works great and I have enjoyed it for 18 years but there are issues, namely:
- Could probably use a new belt but this is not expensive and you can pick a new one (an "upgraged" quality even) for $59.
- The cueing lever on the headshell broke off when I was transporting it one about 15 years ago. I superglued it back on and it's totally fine, if inelegant looking.
- The cartridge works but it's 18 years old and should probably be rehabbed or replaced. - The dust cover shows normal wear and a few drops of paint
- there are some drops of super glue on the plinth (see photos)
Despite this, a new cartridge and belt will give you top notch sound for many years. I held on to this table for so long because I really couldn't conceive of finding something I liked better for less than $3,000. I still feel that way - it was just time to jump to another level of turntable for me. Nice review here https://www.stereophile.com/turntables/309/index.html
I don't have the original box or anything so buyer will have to pick up or I can deliver in the Pasadena/Altadena/Highland Park/Eagle Rock neighborhoods for $20.
