[QUOTE="frikkie, post: 70699, member: 845"] I used to own a fantastic Pioneer turntable some years back. I don't remember the model specifically, but it was one of the direct drive ones with the graphite arm - like so: [IMG]http://www.vinylengine.com/images/model/pioneer_pl-420.jpg[/IMG] That was a great sounding deck, and those high-output MC carts they came with as standard were superb. But yes - Technics just knew how to make fantastic turntables - with their experience building the SL1200's they couldn't go wrong... This particular one I picked up last night sounds great - I think it's a combination of very good suspension, a whisper-quiet DD motor, and what appears to be a very well-built arm with very low friction present in the bearings. I'm not the biggest fan of chrome arm tube tone arms, but I have to say that this one really sounds very, very good... [/QUOTE]
