Just how good is the Technics SL-1200?

Dave_72: Actually the AT150MLX measures about +7dB (max) above 10,000Hz at 47kΩ/120pF. So, technically it is a bright cart at it's recommended loading. But, it's a great one nonetheless. It'll test near flat at 15kΩ/570pF and listening tests support this. This is through an EAR 324 phono stage.

Ok, fair enough. Can I see the test results?

Elizabeth: Nine responses, not one from a "fan boy" stating the Technics SL-1200 is the second coming. I find your patronizing attitude rather arrogant.

I own a KAB modified one. I am a record collector and for my needs it is an excellent table. I can switch cartridges and change setting in seconds. Plays all speeds from 33 to 78 dead on. I looked at a number of other turntables before I bought this one. I thought it sounded as good as the Projects, Rega and a few others in its price range. Matter of taste but I thought it sounded way better than a VPI Scoutmaster. You can do better (SL-10 Mk3?) but for much more money.

Oh Andy you had to break the silence and be that one fanboy.
