I CURRENTLY OWN 5 TECHNICS OF VARIOUS MODELS. MY FIRST BETTER TURNTABLE BEFORE THE TECHNICS WAS A GARRARD, MODEL SL 40 I THINK. A PRETTY GOOD TURNTABLE, WAS BOUGHT CHEAP IN 1978 BUT WORKED WELL. MY FIRST TECHNICS WAS BOUGHT FOR $250 IN 1979 AND I STILL HAVE IT AND IT STILL WORKS BUT THERE IS HUM FROM THE RIGHT AND LEFT CHANNEL CORDS AND NEEDS FIXING. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TECHNICS TO ANYONE. THERE IS VERY PRICEY STUFF OUT THERE THAT I REALLY CAN'T IDENTIFY WITH BUT TECHNICS IS VERY GOOD "MID LEVEL" TURNTABLES AND LAST A LONG TIME.
