Funny thing, did you know the best sounding turntables in the world are belt-drive?

Audiophiles pay thousands for them.

I was listening to some really expensive ones today (like £800) and I swear the Technics I got second hand for £20 was just as good. I'll keep my ears/ eyes peeled for this katie girl aswell.

yeah direct drive 1200 / 1210s ar only if you use them hardcore like scratching, and serious use, and at £20 i guess ya got nothing to loose.

Cheers!

a good quality belt drive would be fine, just for playing.The Technics is fine, you can't go wrong they make good quality decks all round.

I went to school with somebody who i believe now lives in cambridge, katie barnard, she was cute.............Welcome to the forum by the way!

Yo everybody
I'm looking into getting a second hand turntable (one just isn't enough in my house) for playing records, not deejaying, but it needs to sound good. I noticed in the book 'Behind The Beat' Thes has an old belt drive Technics (SL-BD22 I think) and wondered what that was like. If its good enough for him it must be OK I'm thinking. I've got a Technics sl-1610 with an audio technica cartridge and that sounds fine to my ears so if its of the same sort of standard that would be great. Any info would be much appreciated!
