Make your life easier and choose a Technics 1600/1700/1900 series direct drive or Dual 1200 series. Get a Yamaha preamplifier from the 80s and you'll still have some money left for a decent cartridge. Old cartridge body and new JICO stylus if you can't find the original. You really don't want to be messing with dropping the needle and picking up the arm every 20 mins or so. Enjoy the music and the sound as it was intended to be!

I know I've read better reviews somewhere, but I can't find them at the moment. If you can find a seller close enough that shipping doesn't kill the deal, good luck. http://totallywired.co.nz/wax_engine.html |
