I would contest MY SL1200 MK2 to any of Project or Regas Top of the Line Turntable, or even an SME 20 when using an MC Cartrige. I did some personal mods that sets this table leagues above the competition. It is the best sounding component in my system, and my system is VERY revealing.

The stock wiring inside the tonearm and tonearm cable needs to go though. I am using my own custom tonearm cable which I believe makes a huge difference, however, it is combined with other mods I performed on my TT.

The drive stability cannot be beat.
In addition, when I performed these mods on my TT, all in a very rapid pace, it caused me to purchase at least 100 vinyl records that I already had on CD. It caused me to rediscover my vinyl collection in an experience I never though possible.

This is a VERY CAPABLE TURNTABLE which has much potential when performing the right mods to it.
