A few years ago I had a Technics SL-1300, nice machine, it's really worth a look. It handled my AT-150 and a Denon DL-160 cartridges nicely. Also look at the Technics SL-10. I have two TT's in my system and the SL-10 gets most of the work. Playing LP's is like using a cassette player, power on, press two buttons to open, place the recording, close cover and push play. It uses P-Mount cartridges which are easy to change out and require no special tools. If you can find a Technics EPS 310MC cartridge, which was designed for the SL-10, the combination is something special. Good Luck.
Automatic Tables
I haven't used one in years and have 2 great tables but brain surgrey has destroyed my coordination. Which would you recommend? I use to be a dealer but all the ones I was familiar with are gone. I know I will be taking a hell of a drop from my Linn and Basis but better one you can use then ones you can't.
