Time for a new TT 😊

Interesting, a little bit different level ‘tables you have there.

I just bought a new one, will be delivered tomorrow. Stay tuned.

I would get the Technics 1200G instead of all three and save some $ in the process.

But I'm a DD guy.

Listedned to the Technics and IMHO it is way overrated in the comments here on the forum. Not nearly as good as some of the statements let you believe.

Not in the same league as e.g. the Clearaudio.

Of those three, definitely the CA.

I agree with Kouppis on the Technics, unless you’re planning on DJ’ing in your spare time. [emoji6]

all well and good, to which you are in the minority

I suspect you're right, so does Clearaudio make a 4k table to compare with ?

The new Technics has nothing to do with DJing.

I agree, but one can't help but compare with the past !

as for the 1200G, the Op stated on a different forum (same thread) that he has zero interest, based on looks alone.

Great selection, I could live with either of them.

Sorry, overlooked this, e.g. the Clearaudio Performance DC is great for that kind of money. Even comes with the Virtuoso V2 cart in the package.

CA would not be on my list at all. Have to spend a lot more than other brands to be same quality no matter how nice they look. I do have loads of experience with them as a good friend of mine buys nothing but CA for years and years. Now I live far from him, luckily I don't have to pretend to like them anymore. I'm not a fan. But I have owned a few of the cartridges virtuoso and maestro were 2 of them and they are the same , overpriced for performance. My $1200 grado was way better than the $1200 maestro. Just my opinion though, ymmv. I recently sold a Merrill Williams real (Mike called it corky dorky) but it would compete with any mentioned here for less money than most. Ugly duckling but great performance.
I'm a huge feikert fan, and in my future hopefully will be going that way. I love amg and spiral groove but could never pony up that kind of money. Vpi is talked down upon a lot and I'm one who does, I have owned 5 of them. but under $10k with arm I've not heard many better than prime signature. Best of luck in your search.

I agree.

I think the affordable VPI TTs like the Scout and the Classic are decent/good for the money. But just like CA they cannot IMHO compete with Feickert, Reed etc.
