RE: TT Looks vs. Sound

I DO appreciate looks, but perhaps hanging on to my Nott Horizon means I don't put too much weight on it :-) Of 6 working TTs, favorite for looks is my Technics SL-B270, a recent $10 thrift find. I find the slim, minimalist look very hip & attractive. I know I'm forever disqualified from the vinylphile elite club for thinking so of a lower priced, mass market 'table, but I've been very impressed with how good this li'l belt drive sounds. It's not the equal of my suped up Technics SL1210, but it acquits itself very well. If I replace the P24CS conical stylus w/the Jico SAS-MM1 per Ivan303's recommendation, who knows? :-)

Nottingham Horizon, a 'table that's NO looker, IMHO, but sounds so good it gets to stay.
