I wonder if we’re really getting into mechanical differences between turntables? It’s hard to talk in terms of sound but you sound like a lot of fun. If you’re ever in or around Regina, Canada let me know. I have two Technics 1200s that I’ve modified heavily. If you’d like, I can show you some cool stuff with three tonearms (the stock 1200 tonearm, a straight tonearm that will tell you precisely when I went to raves and a tonearm that is engineered for better sound. You’ll hear the difference right away. Then I can show you some differences between cartridges, proper cartridge alignment (a fraction of a degree makes a huge difference) and even styluses.

One downside of the proliferation of turntables is that most don’t work with shit. It’s been happening since everyone was a DJ and is still happening now!!! :)
