Technics SL-1200 MK2 or MK5 would fill the bill exactly. Some, but not I, prefer it to the P3, as well. You also have an upgrade path with the enhancements offered by KAB acoustics.
best sub $1K TT for 45 rpm
My friend is looking to replace his TT which recently crapped out. He has been looking at used and new Rega P3's but is turned off by the exercise required to change speeds. He plays 45's about 25% of the time, so would like more convenient speed switch. Any recommendations for a deck that plays both 33 1/3 and 45 rpm disks re3asonably well, with painless speed switching, for under or near $1K new or used including arm and cartridge? I realize this is at the toe of the vinyl mountain price wise, but the P3 would have fit the bill for now and been a significant upgrade from what he had been using.
This friend recently gave me an unopened heavy vinyl pressing of Dark Side of the Moon, so I am feeling motivated to help. Any advice very much appreciated.
