    Rod Liddle on Middlesbrough Question Time

    The women called Angela (didn't catch her surname) who asked a question, the camera was in her quite a few times, they went back to her just before the programme finished. Does anyone know who she is, she looks very familiar to me, think i have seen her on the TV before.

    Do you know if the cartridge is upgradable, it sounds like it probably doesn't need upgrading, but would like to know just in case.

    What do you recon to the Rega Planar 1 ECO, an eco/recycled Planar 1, it can be had for £199. The Planar 1 gets cracking reviews, the Eco should sound just the same, seems like it might be better than the Pro-Ject turntables i have been looking at.

    The turntables i have been looking at with built in phonos have all had the facility to turn them off so you can use your own separate phono, so i wouldn't be to bothered about it having a built if phono.

    I have been having a read up on the Zen phono you mentioned, the reviews are fantastic. I will have to see if I can adjust my budget and get one, I will get the turntable first, then see how the funds are.

    I am now looking at getting a second hand Pro-Ject Essential 3 with Acrylic Platter and OM10 and a separate preamp. Anyone any experience of this set up, seems a good starter set up to me.

    No, my HiFi is a Denon S-81DAB and doesn't have phono as far as i can tell. Do you have any experience with the Pro-Ject Primary E, it is very basic but has some good reviews on sound quality. Peter Tyson are doing the Phono version for £199, minus a tenner of for signing up to their news letter.
