Should I upgrade my turntable?


I am actually happy with my Realisic Lab 400 with a denon Dl 160 cartridge. It is the best I have had but I really havent had a lot. Do you think one of the newer MusicHall or entry level offerings would better the sound. Supposedly the Lab 400 was the best radio shack made(and I dont know if that says alot). I have around $250 to spend if it might improve my system any. New or used dont matter to me

Buy a KAB Technics SL-1200 Mk.II. There's nothing close at its' price and even around the $1000 level.

The Xpression and Music Halls in comparison are a waste of money.

I have no financial interest in any of these products.
YES definitelly a used SL-1200MkII (not from a Dj)!
Maybe it's better to hold on for it, even if you have to spend $500. You will never regret it. All of it's competitors are pricier & weaker.

UNLESS.....you want to try a LENCO L78 (that fits your budget). It is an excellent toy that you can enjoy to listen & modify whenever you have the mood. I guarrantee for your satisfaction. You can't go wrong with it either.

As you can see, the Technics table and its adherents have a few vocal detractors on this and other forums. I find the more venomous and derisive the language, the less trustworthy the source. From certain parties, it comes to sound like a broken record, devoid of any constructive information and pregnant with language that delights only its author--over and over and over again.

You'll be better off listening to more reasoned and reasonable voices, perhaps ones who know that the noun "flock" takes a singular verb and who will refrain from calling you a "sucker" or "some know nothing" (sic).
