Technics 1200 MK3D


Does anyone know if the Technics 1200 MK3D is any good as being an audiophile grade turntable?  They seem to be a DJ table. What would you pay if you were to buy one?  Someone is selling two with a mixer. could a mixer sound good and hook up to a tube amp?

"Is there a way to connect two turntables to a single phono stage? And without loosing sound quality?"

You can try an A/B switch. But I think that will degrade the sound quality!

Is there a way to connect two turntables to a single phono stage?

Sure - there are many phono preamps that offer multiple phono inputs, e.g. ARC. I think that typically they’re intended for use with a two-arm turntable, but there’s no reason you couldn’t use the inputs for two separate turntables.

Yes, they use a single phono stage and internally switch inputs… example my Audio Research Reference 3.
