If you saw my post on r/turntables and ended up here, take a moment to say “Hi” and let us know your current turntable or your dream turntable.
Hi. I lurked on turntables for a long time as well.
Happy to help build up the community here. I’m by no means an expert on anything though, just an enthusiastic amateur.
I run a Fluance RT85 in my living room and a U-Turn Orbit in my bedroom (I backed them on kickstarter). Both of them run Nagaoka MP-110s.
I had a pair of SL-1200s 20 years ago so I understand the love of a Technics deck. I gave them to my little cousin who wanted to try being a DJ. Lol.
You should find out if your cousin has any mixes you can post.
During Covid I picked up a complete pioneer system for £55 off eBay. The jewel in the crown is the very nice PL512X that was part of the system. After a clean up, belt change and a little lubrication maintenance (new stylus as well) she runs like a dream.
Howdy! I had a Technics SL 1300 for 20+ years as I found it at a flea market for 15 bucks. I have since evolved to the Audio Technica AT-LP2022. I should note I have not gotten rid of the 1300 but it will need a rewiring soon.
It’s great there are decent modern options. For a few years, it seemed turntable manufacturing might cease completely.
