***Why Technics?***
I really like the Technics SL-1200,1600,1800 (all mkII) turntables (the 1700 has a lighter platter). They seem like an unbeatable TT for the price. I have a question of inquisitiveness, and hope not to offend anyone with what is probably a reoccurring Technics theme, as I'm a new member.
In the USA they are considered fine products for the money, but not all that popular w/ audiophiles, probably because DJ'ers have adopted them as their own. But, in the UK these TTs seem very desirable, and I see a lot of postings on the 1200mkII. Is it because of the PRaT and pitch accuracy that a good DD turntable produces, or are their other reasons?
I have the modest Technics SL-D2 and want to upgrade to a better Technics because that is what my budget will hopefully allow.
Thanx
