AKAI BT500 Turntable (Walnut)

Selling this beautiful Akai turntable with a walnut finish. In excellent condition, as the photos show. This is an excellent turntable for someone who is starting to take their records seriously, and who wants a handy set-up with a nice aesthetic. The BT500 has a built-in (switchable) preamp, meaning you can immediately plug this turntable into the AUX input on a set of powered speakers, and you're good to go! For those with separate hi-fi components, the preamp can be turned off, allowing you to connect to whatever external pre-amp or amplifier you already own. I fitted a brand new Audio-Technica VMN95E cartridge in July 2025, which has been played approximately 3 times since then! Comes with the original box, set-up guide, and user manual. Other features: - A Rubber slipmat - Adjustable feet for levelling - Levelling bubble - Bluetooth enabled for connection to Bluetooth speakers - USB port for converting your record collection to digital files. I got this turntable new in 2017, and have used it with active speakers since. I've loved it: only parting with it now because I've upgraded to a Rega Planar 3. Questions welcome.
