hello

thanx for your responce but im wondering if i would get a great sound with a 1000.00 dollar or more cart with the rb 300 or wether it would just be silly?? thanx kindly
thanx for all your input. I think your right about he technics inability to perform at a level that would be suitable to my ears after using an lp12 ekoes comboe. So now what??? The technics is just somthing ive had on my mind for a few years since i read a write in to hi fi news. The idea of all that convenience and simplicity all in on deck i suppose is nearly impossible given the diagreement to the ears. Perhaps i will look at doing it with an rb300, and shelter 501, but go the previously enjoyed rout. This might be what i need to do for some closure on the idea. I wouldnt mind a second setup for the basement at a cost of course. Thinking i should consider looking at an sme setup?? Or possibly an avid setup for my main listenning?? Thanx
