New Technics vs. old
On the advice of some local Visigoths, I replaced the feet and mat on my Technics 1200 MKII.  I also added a fluid damper and upgraded the headshell.  I thought (and still think!) it sounded pretty good.I still have it but upgraded to a Technics 1... 
Duelund DCA16GA
My 12GA took over 100 hours before they sounded good. 
Forever turntable under $2000
Technics 1200GR. 
Please- No more Tin Pan Alley
  I also got pretty tired of hearing Tin Pan Alley at the 2017 RMAF.  The whole bombastic white boy bluesman minstrel act should really be over in the 21st century.Funny thing was I never heard Diana Krall once.

Dueland
Grannyring:  Thanks for your advice.  I no longer feel any hesitation in purchasing them. 
Dueland
Jesus, you are right! " It' s (It's)  Duelund no(t) Dueland."  Soix:  As with all things cable related there doesn't seem to be anything like  complete agreement on whether using two lengths of cable is detrimental to the sound.  I really want to ... 
Dueland
 Looks like you are using yours with Harbeths which have the same 84db efficiency rating as my Spendors so it seems that the Dueland should be fine.I will check out the Acoustic BBQ offerings as well.Thanks!
