Technics 1200 no substitute. Don’t fuck around!

Still have my Technics MK2… unbreakable… just saw they are now at MK7…

If you've got the budget the Pro-Ject Debut Carbon EVO has been pretty awesome. A bit spendy, though.

Audio technica makes great turntables. Can easily save some money and not sacrifice quality and just upgrade the stylus

This one is solid. I also have a Sony I can connect to the computer for digitizing. https://nostr.build/i/nostr.build_6ac5dd9d9a9e5b62c8a1581561aeb3a536437b81ae0d4a770b91a9709c372576.jpg
