Hi,
Just looking for advice on a turntable upgrade. I'm young and poor but I work at a record store and music is my life... so though on a tight budget, I'm always willing to pay a little more for something that sounds good.
I've been using a Technics SL-B210 that I bought on eBay a couple years ago. A guy on Craigslist has a Denon DP-47F, Harman Kardon T60 and Technics SL-1200 MkII for sale. I'm wondering, among those three, which is more highly recommended.
I've been frustrated with my current turntable playing 45's at odd speeds, so I wouldn't mind switching from a belt drive to direct drive. Also wouldn't mind sticking with a belt drive if I just didn't have to deal with speed issues anymore.
But yeah, he's offering the Technics (recently refurbished) for $300 and the other two only if "the price is right". I'm just hoping he'd agree to $200-300.
Any suggestions? The only cartridge I currently have is a Grado Green p-mount. Receiver is Onkyo TX-8255 and speakers are Sony SS-B1000.
