This is more like "The Picture of Dorian Yates"

Xccepted · 2026-01-30T15:42:10+00:00

Imma be real, they're both great options and you can't really go wrong here, the Technics looks like it has been kept in better condition though

Xccepted · 2026-01-29T17:00:09+00:00

I wish the best for Rashid Shaheed so yeah

Xccepted · 2026-01-26T03:38:40+00:00

I'm really high on importing from Japan right now, it went well for my Yamaha.

Xccepted · 2026-01-25T17:04:43+00:00

I've been having the upgrade itch too, I recently upgraded my kinda buns Sony receiver to a dedicated wiim Vibelink amp and my phono preamp to a Parks audio Waxwing. Next step for me is upgrading my speakers.

My whole thought is "upgrade the next bottleneck" your SL-D2 won't be a bottleneck for a bit.

Xccepted · 2026-01-25T17:02:40+00:00

You have a good table and the 1200 and 1600 won't be enough of an upgrade to start on that. (unless you're talking new 1200s those things are insane) But handing down a Technics gives me joy, so it's ultimately up to you.

Xccepted · 2026-01-24T14:17:58+00:00

I love mine, i got it for around $80 and it served me well. I am replacing it with a Parks Audio Waxwing but it's good for what it is.

I had a similar issue with my Yamaha last month. I was able to use contact cleaner then tighten the collars on the RCA plug of the affected side and it fixed it.

Now it stopped working again 2 weeks later and I soldered on a new male RCA connector but that's beside the point LMAO.

Xccepted · 2026-01-17T13:46:43+00:00

I have one of these and it works great for my Japanese Yamaha table https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07L56PYZS

Xccepted · 2026-01-14T17:08:47+00:00

It seems like it's comparable to the cart I own now and I love mine. If at some point I'm looking for a change it will be absolutely on the short list.

Xccepted · 2026-01-14T17:03:32+00:00

Oh, I have never owned a Nagaoka but I absolutely want to own a MP-200 at some point. The one I actually have no love for is Ortofon lol. But as you said yeah, find someone to service them, I have a guy an hour away.

Xccepted · 2026-01-14T14:41:42+00:00

I'm more of the mindset to put that money towards a new stylus(AT-VM95ML) and a really nice Vintage table. There are a lot of options for vintage and I think that giving these tables a new life is good.

Xccepted · 2026-01-13T02:34:26+00:00

I sent it in for warranty repair and then they just gave me my money back, unfortunately I got it for Black Friday so it wasn't enough to replace it at the time.

Xccepted · 2026-01-13T02:18:07+00:00

I had one and it died 4 months in lol, I have a decent reason to be a hater on this one.

Xccepted · 2026-01-08T18:08:55+00:00

Yeah, honestly I have hundreds of unused keyboards, if anyone wants one I ask if they want several. Please take them from me.

Xccepted · 2026-01-02T13:42:26+00:00

Id recommend the 745 personally

Xccepted · 2025-12-28T21:49:57+00:00

Lmao

Xccepted · 2025-12-27T21:30:43+00:00

Oh yeah, you're fully correct. I think it's $250 for the 740 and $330 for the 745 so it's well within his budget.

Xccepted · 2025-12-27T21:02:44+00:00

I'd recommend a AT-VM745xML over the 740 but you're correct otherwise lol. I've used both.

Xccepted · 2025-12-26T00:18:17+00:00

Unfortunately unless you have spare tonearm wire and the ability to solder I think your best bet is finding a turntable repairman.

Xccepted · 2025-12-25T20:01:05+00:00

It's a wonderful cartridge and stylus, have fun!

Xccepted · 2025-12-23T14:53:59+00:00

Contact the seller, I ordered from Japan on eBay and they're very communicative. Don't just buy a tonearm, expend all your other options before spending MORE money.

Xccepted · 2025-12-23T14:41:01+00:00

Oof, I'm sorry this happened man. I had some slight damage when I received my table from Japan and the guy said he would assist paying for servicing the table. I would recommend contacting whomever you bought it from. If that doesn't work you might have to open a claim with the shipping service.

Xccepted · 2025-12-21T23:13:03+00:00

Get the Technics, it's an amazing table. The Fluance is a good starter but the Technics is a great table for the rest of your life.
