That's where my Audio Technica LP5 comes in Mike, direct drive propulsion all the way! I did have 1210's but had to sell them to fund other projects. For playback the LP5 is practically the same sound signature as my mk2's and the tonearms are very similar too. Oh how I miss them though . . . .

To be fair the LP12 does keep up quite well but its certainly not the horse for that particular course. Put on some Jazz or Classical though and it makes the LP5 sound like a gramophone . . .

Oh and here they are (were) . . . .
