    No it doesn't. I had to get little felt "feet" things and use them to level it.

    I thought those cleaner things were way more expensive .... tempting.

    I'm going to buy a record player...................

    Yeah it seems like something useful to have. I have the dial for the anti-skating but my previous turntable had that fishing line thing .. don't really see how that can work properly.

    No. Is that the thing that you put the stylus down on to check the weight?

    I'm going to buy a record player...................

    I *think* my audio-nerd guy told me that the elys2 is a repackaged version of an Audio Technica one which is much cheaper i.e. they are made in the same factory and are exactly the same but are just branded differently. Make of that what you will.

    I'm going to buy a record player...................

    Took a big risk yesterday by installing the new stylus/cartridge I bought online. Figured out how to do it from Youtube. Fitted the cartridge, balanced the tone arm, set the tracking, aligned the cartridge and ....... stylus kept sliding outwards at random points when playing record. Realised...

    You can take my petrol car, my city-breaks in Europe, even my sirloin steaks ..... BUT I"LL NEVER GIVE UP MY VINYL.

    I'm going to buy a record player...................

    Got one Project debut turntable that I don't need anymore. See above. It's the first one. Needs a power cable. You need an amp with a phono input for it. I think it works fine but haven't tried it in a while. Anyone want it? For free if you can collect from D8. @travispickle ?

    Unless the amp has a phono input in which case it's already got a pre-amp in it. In which case it's turntable -> amp -> speakers

    I'm going to buy a record player...................

    Some Audio-Technica one (AT 110e). Yer man recommended it. Was pretty cheap (80 quid + 20 or so for a Headshell(?). He told me that the Elys(?) ones are just rebranded AT cartridges and not worth the money (even made in the same factory). There was some other well known brand he mentioned that...

    Here it is. Sounds awesome and also looks cool.

    I'm going to buy a record player...................

    270 on the repair and then add a cartridge to that. More than I had hoped but I'm going to end up with a souped up Planar 3 with a much better tone arm, and upgraded cartridge, and all set up/tracked/whatever properly so I'm happy enough.

    I'm going to buy a record player...................

    Got a call from the doctor at the HiFi Hospital. It seems there are more things wrong with this than I thought ...... on a more positive note he is very excited about the arm. It turns out it's not the standard one but has been upgraded to something very fancy. Still waiting to hear the damage...

    I'm going to buy a record player...................

    I just dropped the Rega into the Hifi hospital so waiting for them to get back to me about it. Stupidly I forgot that it doesn't have a cartridge so I'll have to shell out for that too. I had an interesting chat with the guy who runs it. He told me that they run audiophile courses and he...

    I'm going to buy a record player...................

    Yes, I think so. I run it into the Aux port on my amp so I suppose if the speaker has one then that's basically the same thing. I'll let you know when I'm looking to offload it...
