Systemdek IIX
Vintage & classic turntables Discontinued
$250–$450 typical US used price
A mid-1980s Scottish suspended belt-drive from Dunlop Westayr, praised for delivering much of the suspended-deck magic at a budget price; commonly fitted with Rega or Linn Basik arms. The Systemdek story later evolved into Audio Note UK's TT range.
The budget suspended deck of the 80s British press, and ancestor of today's Audio Note turntables.
Good to know
- No built-in phono stage — use an amplifier with a phono input or add a separate phono preamplifier.
- This is a used-market purchase. Ask about condition, originality and service history, especially the belt, bearing and stylus.
