Technics or Thorens, need suggestions
Mijo has a thing against Technics DDs. The reality is that the 1200G will sound better and hold it's value. However at your price point, you should listen to what you're going to buy. As for arm compliance, at this level, you're probably looking t...

The OP posted this in the Pro Audio section. Maybe they are looking for pro audio gear.
