Just got it today, I guess it was released last month. WOW I love old school VAN HALEN. Hope they release the rest on 180 HQ Vinyl, It kicks ass. I already upgraded my TT this past Saturday with the Technics SL-1210M5G. I still have the Audiotechnia PL-120 i got from Mike, but this TT is night and day from the PL-120. I know i did'nt have it up that long, But after i went out and got like 20 new LP's i figured a better TT had to happen. Plus i got it for $489 so i was happy. Would have loved to have that Marantz, But money played a key in it as well. Eather way this TT sounds GREAT.

I also got NIN Downward Spiral, And TOOL's Undertow.If anybody has TOOL's ANIMA on Vinyl, And would like to part with it maybe we can work something out.

I am going to machine my own at work out of brass or 6061 aluminum then polish it. Should have it done by the end of the week.:D

Might I recommend that you use delrin for the base and brass for the collet.

That is even a better idea, I have some delrin at the shop as well.

Make me one to. :D

The 120's a nice table for starting out, but the 1210 is a whole other league Larry. You also got the DL-160, right? After 20 hours or so you will be in audio bliss. Enjoy! :)

Joe, if you think those Motown CD's I did for ya sound good, you should hear some of the transfers I've done with the Technics and DL-160 combo. ;)

You're going to love that cartridge. Guaranteed! :cool:

When she starts to break in and open up it's true bliss. Doesn't that magnet under the platter of the 1210 look like some sort of alien technology? :D
