$350 for Used Pro-ject RPM 1.3 Genie a Good Deal?


Recommended Posts

I originally looked at the Genie, some of the benefits outweigh the cons. The cart is better but in this case will be used and the carbon is newer phasing out the Debut III which was better in some aspects to the Genie.

 

Both have great features in comparison with one another. You will need to get a dustcover (or just an old record to keep on the platter) and maybe a new cart if you grab the Genie. Plus the Genie looks awesome!

I went ahead and got it and I love it. Dude I got it from was very meticulous, had all the original packaging, receipts, stylus cover, the whole nine. Plus he got the upgrade at the time and it has the Sumiko Pearl MM cartridge. And he threw in a couple of pieces of granite to help with any motor noise I might get on my shelf. Picking up some Advent 5002's for 75 bucks this weekend, so I just need to find a nice receiver and I'll be in way better shape than I was a couple days ago. Thanks for the tips homies.
