Fully realize that this has nearly five days to run but as it is a collect only option then this will deter many from bidding so there is a strong chance this could be a very good bargain for anyone who is looking to start on the Vinyl ladder . STD 305M is unusual in that it is a four point suspension design rather than the usual three point for Linn, PT , Ariston etc . I owned the plastic STD 305 version of this with a Mission 774 arm mounted and it was at the time for me much better than the Linn Sondek (with basic arm) that I auditioned it against. With a good service and clean and general tidy up this would be in my view a first class turntable well above most of the current mid level units which woulld be far more than this would cost . To get real improvement consider a £600/700 outlay. Plus it will sound decent straight out of the box once set up but will give much better quality with a new arm when you can afford one .
