«  must! »

I have to purchase, the person did hardly used (it was new in the boxes, a gift that he had been!)
I get home, I unplug my technics 1200 mk2 I cables instead, I set the arm and then surprise!
- A couple of crazy (more adjustable start / stop)
- Soundproofing (rumble) well above the mk2, I can listen to my vinyls at a much higher volume while going through the phono output.
-Head (m shure 44) does not move despite more than intensive routines scratch, a rail with only 3 grams of weight
- Speeds beyond 8 + and the reverse was not part of my buying criteria, but for those interested here can be a plus.
- No problems with the start / stop, 2 buttons work perfectly
- Ditto for the pitch bend for the regulars mix cd, Me, I never use.
- The engine is the same as the mk2 (license technics) say otherwise, the rolls of turtabilism.
be careful with shell mounted a cell and observe the inclination of the latter, the cell type matches are banned (right arm forces)
suddenly I sold my mk2 and I absolutely do not regret.
I would do this choice without hesitation
