Ready to pull the trigger on a DD turntable: Technics SL-1210GR or Pioneer PLX1000???
For what it’s worth, the PLX-1000 is my first TT, paired with a Nagaoka MP-150. After owning it a year, I added a Jelco 750D, and Jelco tonearm cable, the Nag 150 seemed to pair well to the Jelco, I heard a big improvement. Then I found a Herron 2...

Finally Settled on a Preamp—Don Sachs Model 2 Custom Linestage
I sold my DS2 last year, and kept the deHavilland. The person who bought it says they are very happy. YMMV. ~Tom

Fantastic, seems you found something better to do this time, I would've died to see Dylan, especially #17. I'm a huge fan of Slow Train Comin'.
