Which Turntable??

It is time for me to go back to vinyl.

For a turntable I am debating between a new Pro-Ject Elemental belt drive with W & F given as .14% & a used Technics SL-1800 DD with W & F given as .025% wrms.

Is this a typo or is the 1800 really that much better? Technics describes their W & F as infinitesimal.

Any comments will be appreciated.

Thanks---r

I am also looking at the Pro-Ject RM 1.3 that musicdirect is selling...

You need to visit the 'U-Turn Audio" web site before making a choice. Great sound, great value.

6-7 weeks turnaround for U turn...I would opt for the Ortofon cart if one is going that route...the AT lp120 another good option...

I like pro-ject tables but I would avoid the USB models. The phono preamp is unreliable. Mine c***ed out shortly after the warranty expired and my dealer told me this is not unusual. If/when that happens, the table is useless unless you know someone who can modify the unit to bypass its pre-amp and allow it to be connected to the phono stage in your amp, receiver, etc.
