I know this is kind of off-topic, but I
should mention (if people don't know
already) that Technics lost the patent
on their legendary 1200's about four
years ago, and since then a number of
decent "clones" have been popping up.
The best of which in my opinion is the
Gemini PT-1000.... I bought one four
years ago, and it's really nice. Same
torque, +/- 10% pitch control, and
quartz locking.... also, for a cartridge
check out the Stanton 680... it's not
supah great for DJing but perfect for
primo broadcast-quality recording...
the 505's are nice for DJing (much better
sound quality than the 500's) but until
you get to crazy stuff like trackmasters,
etc. (at $80-$150 each) you'll do fine
with the 680.
Soz you know.
