How much am I missing with SL1200 mk2?

Hi everybody,

Hope you are enjoying your Labor Day Weekend.

My system is:

Anthem 225i (using phono pre in rec)
Musical Fidelity A5.5 CD player
Usher CP 6311 speakers
Clean SL mk2 with AT cartridge 120e

How much am I missing with my SL opposed to a $1000-$1500 including cartridge more modern setup like Rega RP3, entry Clearaudio, VPI, etc?

I'm pretty happy with the current setup but have been told I am giving up a lot with the SL.

Your opinions are appreciated, just curious.

Thanks in advance,

Gary

I'm in Michigan at a car show, winery:brewery, outdoor concert. If they are selling audio skin- I will take $50 worth! Okay - $20 for sure!

Hope you all are having a great weekend,
Gary

Do turntable mats made of leather count as audiophile skin?

No Gary, You're at the wrong spot! You should be looking at yard sales. Will be displayed at $10, but you can offer $5 or lower.

Czarivey,

I'll try it once... I'd hate to be seen as cheap! (Just kidding, I'm cheap)

I saw your system, I've heard the Aerial's are great. I'd like to hear them and Totem, and Silverline, Proac, etc. The reviews I've read interest me.

Congrats on a great deal on the 10's. They are probably beyond my reach but I'd still like to listen!
