The Technics SL-100C can be had for a grand. It does have auto-lift and no built in phono preamp. I doubt that you would go wrong with it!
Music Hall's "Classic" turntable :How does it compare to other similarly priced T/T's
Want to replace my U-Turn turntable I purchased with a few upgrades I changed the prepacked Ortofon 2M Red with an Audio Technica VM95SH with( shibata stylus) about 2 years ago. I am seriously considering Music Hall ' s "Classic" turntable priced at $ 649,00 . Looks nice and has convenient features like auto shut- off and a built in phono amp ( which I don't need)
Need some feedback about this table 's performance and sound. Have found few reviews Also, considering Rega's P2 and Project's Debut Evolution Carbon table. All are prepacked with $100 cartridge. Will replace my choice with the Audio Technica which is superior to them.
Thank you,
