Newby upgrade advice please

[jnmann]

Whilst searching I've found a Brio for £350 (private), Roksan K2 for about £500 (shop). Brio seems good value but not sure on original rrp. Would I be better saving my money for something newer with warranty?

£489 for a new Brio, Arcam A19 refurb at £499.

Is that the Brio R? Roksan K2s were going for £450 new 3 years ago so I consider that a bit high, does it have a warranty? Brio Rs are now £550 new, you can sometimes get 10% discount. I've seen Arcam A19s for around £425, nearly new, dealer returns. I would keep looking.

Yes, only looking at the brio r.
Will keep looking, thanks.

Still unsure if TT is up to it or needs updating/replacing.

So the secondhand Brio R is £350, might get a little cheaper. Would this make a substantial difference or should I hold on to my money and save for Roksan?

Looking on Vickers HiFi, they have the Cyrus 6 about half price (factory reprocessed) Where would these fit in quality wise with the rega/roksan....Always liked the look of the Cyrus
