Would a Technics SL-1200 MK2 be an upgrade from a Denon DP-31L?

Hi all,

just wondering if this Technics turntable is superior to my current Denon for home audio use? The Denon is my first and only turntable, and it sounds great so I have no complaints, but I wasn't sure if the Technics would be even better. Especially considering the Technics is a DJ TT, which I don't have a clue if that makes a difference for my usage in a home audio setting.
Price isn't a factor because I'll only pick it up if I can work out some kind of trade for it (although the asking price is $400 in good working order with a new self grounding RCA board installed)

any my advice would be greatly appreciated!

thanks

I would not buy this table for $200! This table is RAGGED OUT! and it does not have a original headshell or dust cover?!! Stay away and put your $400 into a better unit. Keep looking.....:-)  I really like the SL1200 just NOT this one.

  P.S. You could buy a new Audio Technica LP120 (very nice table and similar in design to the Technics) and mount a new Ortofon Red for $400!!!!
