They're almost 2 grand Australian new - now the US dollar is about 60, 65 cents Australian, so you do the maths..... Plus we now have a new GST tax - extra 10%.
You can get those cheap home stereos at pawn shops but there's no service or spare parts and the service/parts cost you. Hence I am stuck with one that turns UR into..... instant Walt Disney records. In fact the service for turntables sucks all round in this country. Trust me, I have tried all of these recommendations. My techno CD collection is actually quite modest. Even import CDs are A$40 over. I'm still saving up for Alan Oldham's - at 41/45 bucks. We call it "the tyranny of distance". Redeeming 313 content: Detroit Grand Pu Bahs is getting a local release through Zomba. You should read the official label bio - hilarious. Goes on about them meeting at the Detroit Zoo. I got sucked in until it went into the part about underground labyrinths.
