An original, used Oracle Delphi turntable with arm and cartridge for $800, back in 1997. The only items I bought for less were my original system in high school, consisting of an Akai receiver and Fisher speakers for $325 in 1981. I bought them with money earned scrubbing pots at a local restaurant. All three were perfect at the time and were enjoyed for many years. It seemed like a fortune at the time. Today, my speaker cable costs more than I ever imagined spending on an entire system. How times have changed!
