Technics 1210GR with A&R77 cartridge

[Mikeandvan]

Bringing this thread back on topic, I use a 1210 GR with its original tonearm, no faffing about, with an old A&R A77 cart, that probably needs changing, and which I likely haven't aligned correctly, and it sounds pretty damn good! And I don't have to worry about breaking £1k cart every time I play a record.

What was your previous deck? Do you consider it an improvement over your previous?

Yeh, it's got a start/stop button.

As things would have it, I acquired another Technics deck which arrived with a Garrott P77. (I've heard it is similar to Arcam/Cambridge?) The stylus I would not trust. I will have to source another perhaps from Garrott, assuming all is well with the business.
