Im looking to swap my Systemdek for something a bit more modern looking. Just redecorated the living room and the IIX looks really old!

Ive had an offer of a Systemdek Transcription 3 with a Rega 250 arm. Does anyone know anything about this deck? I really like the sound of mine so would hope it would have similar qualities.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
I don't know the transcriptor deck, but I do know that you'll need to spend a few bob to get a TT that sounds as good as the Systemdek IIX.

I've had a Systemdek IIX900 since about '92 and decided to get myself a new deck a couple of years ago, so got a more modern looking Project Xperience - a nice deck but wouldn't say it was better than the Systemdek - different but not better. In fact I still prefer the Systemdek for some more acoustic type music (as you've probably gathered - despite getting a new deck I couldn't bring myself to part with the Systemdek - so I'm now running the two). Fortunately I've got a scruffy looking loft conversion to listen in - so no gripes about the looks of the IIX.

If you do go for a new deck the Project ones are nice - but the Xperience isn't cheap - think Project have tagged another £300 quid on their Xpack package since I got mine - so its about a grand now. I've heard good things about Rega's current crop of decks too - but can't vouch for them myself.

Hope that gives you something to think about - other wise you could redecorate again retro style - might be cheaper
