As soon as I saw the title, I knew mijo would be here shortly to bash the Technics.
I was using a Marantz TT15-S, and while I liked the sound and the looks, I don't like the way the belt and motor is setup. I have been eyeing a newer Technics since the release and I pulled the trigger 2 days ago on a gently used 1210GR with an Ortofon black and a few upgrades at a nice price.The table really sounds fabulous. Definitely no regrets. I also agree that the table looks much better in person(not that it looks bad in pictures.) I have a good friend that is generally a fan of belt drives, I bought the Marantz on his recommendation and the first thing he said is, I don't like the looks. I certainly don't agree, and he probably won't either when he gets to see(and hear) it.
Anyone need a like new Marantz TT15 for a good price? :P
