I agree with Ekobesky and Johnnyb53. If you even want to take it one step further you can upgrade the bearing to a nitride silicone ball bearing in a brass housing.
Project Debut III or Technics 1200 MK5?
Hey,
About to get my first TT in a long time and am on a tight budget. I have narrowed it down to a brand new Project Debut or a used, though not very muchl, in great condition, Technics 1200 MK5 for a similar price. What would people recommend? I seem to be reading conflicting things. Some people say go for the Project Debut as the it will sound better as the Tecknics is a 'DJ' turntable and not a 'audiophile' turntable. Others say the opposite and say a good Technics 1200 outperforms pretty much any entry level audiophile turntable. The other issue I guess in one is brand new and the other is used.
I'm leaning towards the Technics, I've used them before and like their robustness and the fact you can change speed at a touch of a button
