Technics SL xxxx TT's
Thinking of (re)dipping my toes into the world of Technics SL turntables. Quite a few floating about at the moment.
I've owned lots of 1210's in my "youth" and wouldn't shy away from getting another and modding it into a quality domestic deck.
However seeing as a lot of the parts are the same between the 1200 series and above I'm thinking similar/higher performance can be had for much less money.
At the moment I'm leaning towards the 1500/1600/1700's but not sure which models offer best bang for buck as it were.
I've heard most of the mk2 versions of these decks are better, again not quite sure.
I haven't actually heard any of these decks so I'm going purely on reputation so far.
Any help or recommendations much appreciated. Looking to spend far less than good condition 1210 money.
Cheers,
Chris
