    I'm Simon.

    Default Thanks all

    Hey Thanks for the warm welcome all! Its much appreciated.

    Rob thanks for the detailed advice, its very welcome (plus i never tire of a bit of culture so thanks for the link!).

    Although i love the LP12 i guess there's a part of me that always wished I owned the Technics decks as its such an iconic part of club/ dj culture. But when i got into HiFi no one seemed to take that deck seriously other than DJ's and 'non hifi' people.

    So when i found out many years later that you can mod and get stunning performance to rival other decks it whetted my appetite, plus i like the idea of minimal maintenance once the deck is set up and rock solid reliability for not too much cash it starts to appeal.
    Plus the money i have invested in my current system could be used elsewhere right now.

    So i guess the aim would be to get a decent stock 1210 deck and a good cheapish MC cart and take it from there.

    Ian , i would love to take you up on your offer since i am only down the road in Brighton. I have had those Harbeths on my list for some time. I love the BBC type designs for what they do musically. and if they do anything like the Stirlings Nait combo for musicality, timing and naturalness but with a wider tonal range then that sounds right up my street. Let me know when would suit you and if you wanted to dem anything i've got then just let me know.

    Thanks all again

    Si
