Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G
Hi jsm71, when you get your Technics 1200G with cartridge, please do a review of it. I was close to getting this or looking at the 1200GR. The Technics is maintenance free and based off the history of the 1200 series the reliability will be excell... 
advice for my clear audio analogue upgrade path
