@boothroyd Thank you for the advice. My one last hesitation is that it has fixed RCA cables coming from the tonearm. Assuming I keep that tonearm for the time being means I'm stuck with whatever quality those output cables have. Should this be a concern? I'm using Morrow PH4's at the moment.
Turntable purchase advice sought
Hey everyone,
Looking for a bit of advice on a possible turntable purchase. There is a Technics 1200 Mark II with many Dave Cawley modifications listed on the other site. I have used a VPI hw19 Mark 4 and a Rega P3 before and I'm now running an NAD c558 but I'm looking for something with a bit more bite to it. My cartridges go between a Hana ML MC and a Clearaudio Maestro V2 Ebony MM.
I don't mind fussing with turntable setup and in fact love aligning cartridges and setting VTA and all that, but I've heard lots of good news about how durable the Technics is. Any thoughts would be appreciated. And thank you.

@boothroyd @lewm Cool. Thanks again. I removed an RCA breakout box from my VPI several years ago so am comfortable doing that in reverse. You have helped me be more comfortable with my decision. One last thing :) For the $1K price and with everything that comes with it, is there any other table I should consider in lieu of the 1200 for the same price and features? |
