TECHNICS SL-1200MK2 Turntable Review

This thing is great. I really don't understand why anyone would want/need to spend more. It has all the alignment tools needed. It can do anything and everything. Most of all, it sounds great. The cartridge that comes with it will get you started, but mate this turn table with a Shure M97xE Hi-Fi Phono Cartridge and you got yourself a wonderful sounding turn table for the audiophile on a budget and more really. I've been in to audio for a long time now, and money doesn't always equal great sound. I favor the sound of this turn table with the upgraded cartridge and good vinyl to my SACD player. It's softer, but it just seems to have more detail and life to it. I hate most audio reviews that abuse words, so I'm not going to bother. Norah Jones voice sounds AMAZING!!!! Hows that for simple? I have her on SACD too. I like the 200g vinyl and this turn table with the upgrades better.

Only down side. Don't use the internal amp. It has no bass. FYI, one of your older HT amps might just have a gem of a phono amp, and preamp outs on it. :)
