I see that in the past you had also the last generation of Technics SL-1200. Do you prefer this turntable from 1200? In reality this is a copy, which has improved a lot and is also cheaper to buy.

The Pioneer feels exactly the same as a SL1200, only the tone arm lift on the Pioneer seems a little less firm. Other than that, they are equal in my opinion. The tone arm bearings on mine are adjusted very wel, there's no play, which seems to be the case sometimes in other units.

Hi! I agree with you, the entire table feels firm and bulletproof, except the tonearm lift which is flimsy. I sold it in the end and got an SL1200 again, a Mk6 this time. It felt like coming home. Before that I bought a new SL1500C, but the same thing there, very flimsy and in my case faulty arm lift. I run the SL1200 with a Denon DL103R and also a Pro-Ject Phono Box S2. Very nice combo. :-)

@@Vouwfiets9 I have learned to work with the somewhat weak arm lift. Nothing is worse than a stylus that takes a sidestep towards the outer platter rim after being dropped. So I carefully lower it each time just to be sure. I really like everything else about this deck. And the only other deck I might consider would be a belt-drive like a Rega Planar 3 or a Fluance RT-85. I am a sucker for these beautiful acrylic platters lol

Whitelabel is very nice. But MP300 goes 3 steps further in every aspect, micro detail. high/low end extension, tracking etc. Excellent cartridge, although I could very well live with the Whitelabel.

@@Vouwfiets9 feel it would be as nice as the mp-110 i know its much a matter of taste.

Excellent, although imho a cartridge is responsible for 90% of the sound.

I really had to look because it was some time ago. 🙂On bass it was a Yamaha P3500S, midrange a Behringer A500 and the highs were done by a Samson Servo 170. I've got a comparible speaker set up now, but slightly bigger. 🙂

I hear it too now. Popping ant the end. I washed it when I bought i years and years ago. It's time for a new bath. :-) My system has changed massively since the by the way.

You can't really say that as you haven heard it in real life. Looks can be very deceiving.

Vouwfiets9 I would not put this cartridge on a DJ turntable ... it makes no sense .. and too dangerous if some friends come at your home and try to scratch with it ..

Michel Richert lol don't know that I wouldn't put that on a DJ table that has no justification I own a very good system been in vinyl all my life and I do own the 1000 .. besides owning many other turntables..... It's a great turntable and can be used for home and club If that's your profession as for me I'm a audiophile man ...I prefer home and have a AUDIO-TECHNICA vm750sh on it and it sounds fantastic ,remember where you're listening starts from. . don't get sucked in by this hype that there's a rule ........ do what sounds best to you there are no rules in STEREO....... (just price tag )just keep spinning the vinyl (records )

This modern LP is so nicely recorded no hardness at all and detailed,my test LP when testing cables or components too.

@@michelrichert9052 tengo un sistema profesional dónde también han sonado technics y se escucha excelente el PLX-1000, no puedes juzgar lo que no tienes
