just recieved mine yesterday, beautiful to behold! still waiting for the goldring cartridge and radial phono pre-amp to be delivered though!
Can you tell us your first impressions of this turntable?
hey khriz,
unfortunately, due to the japanese post office being swamped with new year cards, i am still waiting for my preamp and cartridge to arrive from the US, but i will post more once i’ve got the full system up and running and tweaked!
Ive been waiting for this but cant find it anywhere. Can anyone tell me where I can order this?
they looking good the 1200 mk6 but personally i will always stick to the mk5 really love em. the mk 6 look very similar to the mk5. is there much diff between the two? cant believe technics are not making anymore turntables but cd j’s have killed the vinyl industry and djs brain power its a lazy way of mixing xx
