An audio buddy of mine in town has an Sl-1600 and it's a pretty nice turntable. A fully automatic turntable for a newcomer is a plus (although a semi-automatic comes in a close second). I think an Audio Technica AT-95E would be a good cartridge. Set-up is easy enough that even I can do it.

Cooincidentaly, last weekend I took a Technics SL-Q3 turntable to a young couple we know in Albuquerque. (We went up so I could attend The Kingston Trio Christmas concert.) Nice young folks; they were friends of my older son. I installed an AT-95E and it wounded pretty darn good considering the price. They had everything else they needed to set it up: interconnect cables, level, table to set it on, etc. Hope it serves them well.

I forgot, I also took 'em some Bob Dylan records. The lady of the house likes Bob Dylan.

I own both (basically) and the Thorens sounds better. It wins. - Biff 15:20:29 12/19/14 (0)

If the 1600 was a MKII I'd go for that. But it isn't, so I pick the TD-145. /nt\ - Opus 33 1/3 12:21:59 12/19/14 (3)

If it was for me, I'd take the Thorens, too. - olddude55 15:15:03 12/19/14 (1)
