Vintage, or used, TT's require a serious check up, made by some guys able to do that, otherwise you will not know you're harming your records until they are damaged. Plus you probably will need a new cartridge too. So, unless you know the guys for the check up, (or you are able to do for yourself, not an extreme difficult job, but a accuracy job, nevertheless), my suggestion is to go for a brand new Rega, Music Hall and Project, that often come with the cartridge. I mean that a trashed used amp might sound bad, but doesn't kill you records, a trashed TT does.
