I agree with the first point. But you are looking at about a grand for a new old stock example now so they are no longer cheap. I remember when they were £350 new. Not seen what they go for used recently but it was about £200 for a decent one.jammy395 wrote:Yet again the bog standard techie 1210 needs no fukin upgrading. its a fine TT at its price point.
If you feel it requires upgrading - You've bought the wrong turntable. (Buy a better TT)
Second point I think upgrading the deck will improve it just as you can improve anything that was not perfect and built cost no object to begin with. And if you do decide to buy a 'better' TT what do you go for assuming you want the benefit of Direct Drive? An SP10 I suppose but that is a couple of £K used now. Otherwise get Lenco GL75 and.. errr..modify it. Of course if you want something pretty with lots of wood and have £5K to spend then the world is your oyster but I am not sure I would bother even if I could afford it.
