Sell or keep my Turntable


I have a Rega Planar 3 with RB300 tonearm and Linn K9 cartridge I purchased in 1988. I used it that summer and with a few exceptions it has not seen much use. I just find using CD more convenient. I have 150 records and will probably get back into them at sometime in my life but the Rega just sits boxed in the basement.

I'm contemplating selling it to use the funds in my current system.

Have you sold your TT and later regretted it?

Are current TT's that much better so I should sell the Rega and buy a TT if I happen to get back into vinyl someday?

If I decide to sell the Rega what would be a reasonable asking price?

Thanks - Jack

If I were you I wouldn't sell it. You think you will get back to your records one day - that means you need something to play them. The Rega with arm is pretty good, and I really liked the K9. So at present, you have a pretty decent TT, and who knows what it might cost you to buy a new/other TT in the future. If, however, you need the storage space or money.... sell it. Check the ads here on A'gon to seem what reasonable prices are, I really haven't got a clue.
don't sell it...i wish i had kept my turntable...beautiful thing about your table and arm is they are built to last and are not outdated. i listen to SACD and that has actually helped me appreciate the sound of vinyl (which I'm going to get back into) and has helped clarify for me the harshness of redbook CDs (comparatively). I only know what my ears tell me, and there is a difference...vinyl (and SACD) sounds more natural. I'm also a photographer, and even though there are megapixel cameras out there, I still prefer the "analogue" look of a print coming from film and a chemical darkroom. Very much the same "magic" dimension and presence that is there with vinyl. CD is convenient and I'm glad I have it, but why not have all mediums at your disposal? I'd recommend selling something else.
