Cartridges


Is it better to upgrade to an ultra premium cartridge or to buy the premium records such as hot stampers and the like?

SL-1200 mk II. (2 from early mid 80’s

sl-1210 mk II (from mid 90’s I think ,black version)

 

every few years, remove platter, remove spindle assembly, wipe, fresh oil, 

set brake, blow out w air duster, put together.  Not a hiccup, start, stop on a half dime, never out of speed, always turns on, no belts, no bs. 
still used to record lps to computer to burn to taiyo yuden cdrs’

after what, coming up on almost 40 years, no issues.

Ortofon Arkiv to record to computer, or the nightclub II for extra mid n low end. 
 

best most reliable TT built. 
naysayers eat a bag of icksday :)

great sound, no hiccups in any of them. 
I take care of them.  Maybe kids someday will get them and my records. 
as my nephew said when here long years ago, after seeing my records in a box (Uncle R****** , how big were your CD players .
