In Reply to: RE: The official "insert turntable name" sucks and my "insert turntable name" is the best thread posted by cwsiggy on March 12, 2012 at 16:12:06
I hope we can agree that any/all turntables have pros/cons and we shouldn't denigrate others' choices. Those choices may have been made for reasons of convenience, budget, experiences, availability, visual appeal....

I've heard a few versions of the Walker Proscenium (Gold) turntable, and it has always "sucked" because I was enthralled with the sound and bowled over by the engineering and construction, but knew I'd never be able to afford such a beautiful thing. When I was young, a Goldmund Reference was THE table (other than some Micro Seiki jobs) that tugged on my heartstrings.
Now? The Walker Audio table is what I just wish I could find someplace at a yardsale...
I have to say there is nothing wrong with Technics 1200 series TTs..
Nor any other TT brands.
I just got annoyed back when Technics 1200 gusher threads were flowing all the time. And ANY thread about 'what TT should I buy' got a flock of Technics owners gushing over it like it was the best thing since marmalade. It was like some gang of KAB buddies had a fanboy club for the model.
No other group seems to be around quite like the Technics fanboys were back when.
Odd isn't it?
Anyway, that is why I give Technics a hard time. And it is the ONLY reason.
Personally i have no grudge against the Technics 1200 tables.. except the tonearm is from the stone age... But not MUCH worse than the Denon arms on Denons semiauto tables.. LOL...

marmalade is just awful.
What did the chick say after her mother hen laid an orange?
Look at the "orange-Mama-laid" (orange marmalade).
So sorry, that was REALLY bad, but I couldn't resist.
Where else could you have handed to you such a perfect opportunity to use that line?
amen to this post. otherwise might just as well argue religion or politics. or team sports.
this thread is not a good idea.
