The 1200G is just really hard to beat. Many like the colored sound of a belt drive as I do from time to time. I still have my belt drive I listen to on occasion but I do 99 percent of my listening to the 1200G. It just has the drive that you would have to pay substantially more for in a belt drive, like upwards of 20K
Technics 1200 G a Forever Turntable?
I won my fantasy football league and have $4-5K burning a hole in my pocket. I am considering a new turntable to replace my OG Technics 1200 M3D. Is it possible to get one at this price point that can be the last one I'll ever want/need? Looking at 1200G because of the familiarity, but is it better to get one with easier future tonearm changes. I know audiophiles generally don't settle on anything forever, but I feel like a great turntable can do the job for years beyond most other equipment.
