It was a very interesting first day with the Technics 1200. Before receiving the turntable I read many threads about the shortcomings of the 1200. Many people said almost everything about it was mediocre and many modifications were required to have it sound even barely listenable. ahhhhh - Audiophiles!!!!! lol

The 1200 was way out of my reach years ago lets see four turntables in almost forty years. The second lasted 30 + third a month or so. What I'd read on the blasted www is what led me to that third that I lost $ on.

 

Very nice TT you have sure that speed of the LP will never be an issue, I prefer well implemented DD myself.

& I really miss the auto return!!

 

Best thing I would tell you, keep the record grooves clean and put a bright light on the needle often to see if it needs to be de- gunked. Better yet don't let it get gunked up at all.
