Technics sp10 mrk2 or SL-1200mrkII
I just want to thank everyone again for their replies. It has been educational and helpful. Now, I was wondering if I could ask a comparison like question. I have access to Nottingham. I was leaning towards the Space 294. Would a KAB modded 1210MR...

Thanks for the clarifiacation fellas. It is all great info. I do infact have a very good dealer who has alot of experince setting up turntables so that is not an issue. It is the person who I am getting my Grand Prix rack from.So I really don't ne...

So, if I find one with a tone arm already installed, like an EPA100, then it is safe to say that it is ready to go as is? Thanks again if it seems like you have to answer the same question over and over again. As far as where I am on the continum,...

Thanks Jack.I have seen that SL-1000 on a website when I was doing my search about this table. Shipping, I would imagine, would be a gamble. So if I find a sp10, that comes with an arm and the power supply, I need a base to put it on? I just can't...

Technics sp10 mrk2 or SL-1200mrkII
It seems like it is a great table. Once I get my room treatments and I have my funds in order, I will see what I can do. The only thing is I need one that is ready to go or almost ready to go. I don't have the skills to work on my system myself. B...

Thanks everyone. I think I might try and get a SP10MKII down the line. I am sure they will pop up every now and then. I have this philosophy of trying to limit regret. It's tough with this hobby, but I have done pretty good so far. If the 10 is a ...

Thanks for the reply. In my research I saw that KAB site. I would be willing to mod it. Like I said, I may be able to get a great deal on a 1200 so I don't mind putting a little extra into getting it to sound as good as it can. Thanks again for th...

I know it will need to be "adapted". Have you heard the 1200?Should I think about that as well or just try and get an SP10. 
Outlook Audio
I dealt with them a few times. I got my Halo C2, Esoteric DV50S and JM Labs 1027Be's there. I could tell he was in trouble with the deal I got for my 1027's. It just screamed desperation. The owner used to work at Soundex. They are out of business... 
Sealed Subwoofer Recommendation
I going to just put the Seaton Sound Submersive out there. I have one going in my room this week end. It is a relatively compact dual 15in sub. It has a 1000 watt amp. All indications is that it is a fantastic performer. Plus it is less then the F... 
Is JM Lab 927 BE better than Electra 936?
I had the 927's. I traded them in and got the 1027's. The 927's sounded very good for HT. I liked them allot and I would still have them but the deal I was offered was to good to pass up. I would go for the 927's. The mids and highs are just fanta...

Focal JM Lab
I have the 1027's. It must have been the equipment becasue I do not find them bright at all. They are very good speakers IMHO. I would go with the 826v as well. You should hear the 1027's with good tube gear. 
JM Lab: Utopia Diva Be, 937 Be or new 1027 Be?
I have to say that if you go with JM Labs, the 1027's are the ones to get. They are simply a fantastic speaker. With good placement, and tweaks, the sound that you can pull from these speakers is simply fantastic. I would say that they are at leas...
