I have a line on a nice vintage AR ES-1 turntable with the cherry base for $150. I've been planning to buy the Pro Ject Debut III turntable after I buy a nice tube phono stage... but I might jump on the AR if it's a decent deal. What do you guys think?

Phenomenal deal. It would be SRSLY foolish to not purchase the AR at that price.

Charles,

Before you spend the money on the pro-ject, check out the Sonographe SG3 on a'gon. I've no relation to the seller, but I've been using this deck for a couple of years and it's really served me well.

It's very similar to the ES-1 in a lot of ways, but uses even more impedance matching dense acrylic (not the shiny acrylic that clearaudio uses).

Here's a little blurb by Dave from vinyl nirvana.

oh, and stew. i still have no idea if i'm going to be able to afford the platter/bearing gb until the numbers are finally released, but i have a nagging feeling that it's going to end up being too rich for me.
