In Reply to: Would you kind folks buy this? What would you link it with and how? posted by DVDman on September 12, 2006 at 08:29:06:
I would be wary. Not because it is direct drive or Technics but becuase the arm appears to be semi automatic. It might work fine and give you many years of trouble free service but there are a whole lot of linkages beneath the top plate that wear and will be extremely difficult to repair if it throws a wobbly. The semi automatic function also limits your cartridge choice to low end MMs as the auto return puts a lot of strain on the cantilever.The turntable base itself is an exccellent tool for turning the vinyl and if you like the Technics DD system and the cool looks, try to locate one of the manual arm versions, they appear all the time on Ebay and can be excellent value. With the manual arm, you have the option of removing it and replacing it with the arm of your choice (eventually when funds permit). This will vastly extend you cartridge choice. Armboards are readily for Technics at reasonable cost or you can even make your own relatively easily.
Whatever you decide, enjoy the vinyl, it will quickly become a passion reducing you to an anorak haunting car boot sales and charity shops in a quest for classic records.
