Chakster: There you go, much better!!!! I’m not looking to build a reference TT.
I bet you can’t with $1k, but don;t give up and buy the best you can within your budget.
First of all, I’m just getting into vinyl.
This is why you need Technics, it can be your last turntable. I still have those pair i bought more than 20 years ago and it’s working as new.
It’s a whole new world for me. I was reading about all the adjustments I might have to make and that’s what turns me off, although I’m sure others live for this.
Life is easier with Technics and MM or MI cartridges, this turntable is very simple to adjust (VTA on the fly, removable headshell with nice overhang gauge) and it build to last fovever, at least 20-30 years!
And secondly, I’m not looking to blow several grand. I’m looking for a good, solid quality entry level unit. I have no plans on upgrading whatever I decide on (that’s what we all say). So I want to get something decent and get it right the first time.
Yes, the answer is Technics mk7 ($899) in black or silver.
