To be operational and complete do I need the SL 1200 + tbe Magnetic Phono Cartridge. Please confirm.Thanks. This item is great.just a question. Is this correct.According to me the SL 1200 has no needle.
Let's the cartridge speak for itself. One star taken off since if it had auto-return and maybe a straight tonearm it would be perfection. Fully user-adjustable if you like to tweak, easy switching of headshells, solid and well-made, rock-steady platter, and.most important of all, somehow quieter than any belt drive turntable I've heard. IMO, A-T and Denon cart.s are the ones to use with this.
Great sound, accurate as all get-out. Love this turntable. All the old records in my collection are enjoying new life.
A rock solid heavyweight, impervious to vibration, bulletproof, sounds great.what more could you ask for. Above the knee you pay a lot more to get a little more. Cost/benefit curves typically have a "knee" in them. Below the knee you pay a little more and get a lot more. As far as I can tell this turntable is at the sweet spot slightly above the knee.
I hate most audio reviews that abuse words, so I'm not going to bother. It has all the alignment tools needed. :) It's softer, but it just seems to have more detail and life to it. Most of all, it sounds great. Norah Jones voice sounds AMAZING. Don't use the internal amp.
I like the 200g vinyl and this turn table with the upgrades better.Only down side. It has no bass. I've been in to audio for a long time now, and money doesn't always equal great sound. I really don't understand why anyone would want/need to spend more. It can do anything and everything. I favor the sound of this turn table with the upgraded cartridge and good vinyl to my SACD player.
Hows that for simple. FYI, one of your older HT amps might just have a gem of a phono amp, and preamp outs on it. This thing is great. The cartridge that comes with it will get you started, but mate this turn table with a Shure M97xE Hi-Fi Phono Cartridge and you got yourself a wonderful sounding turn table for the audiophile on a budget and more really. I have her on SACD too.
