Low end TT vs. Hi end CD


so, i will soon have a good phono stage (supratek), to replace the numark mixer ...

do you think a technics 1200 can sound better than a wadia 860x?

right now, with a cheap cartridge and a cheap phono stage, the wadia kicks the technics butt.... (but i can hear some inkling of how the technics COULD sound pretty good)...

Dennis,
BTW,
There is a member aka- psychicanimal among us here who wouldn't be please that you call SL1200 Low-end turntable!:-)
...not as precicely but in general good quality records are more than good quality cds even as of now. In this terms first you'll get a complete hobby development, great toy and most-likely the sound superior to Wadia.

remember, real high-end is analogue from recording to reproduction.
Yeah, polishing a turd...
I can't make a judgement on that case unless I can have a chance to listen not just basing on general rule of thumb about belt drive v.s. DD.
I also tend to believe to TWL as to the analogue expert that this deck is quite descent for high-end playback.
