Hi. I lurked on turntables for a long time as well.

Happy to help build up the community here. I’m by no means an expert on anything though, just an enthusiastic amateur.

I run a Fluance RT85 in my living room and a U-Turn Orbit in my bedroom (I backed them on kickstarter). Both of them run Nagaoka MP-110s.

I had a pair of SL-1200s 20 years ago so I understand the love of a Technics deck. I gave them to my little cousin who wanted to try being a DJ. Lol.

You should find out if your cousin has any mixes you can post.

Lol. She sold the decks a while back to buy her first car. I was a little pissed when I found out, but she was still pretty much a kid at the time.

I was also like “how could you buy a car?” I had no awareness of how much people were willing to pay for 1200s when they got discontinued. She sold them at the peak of their value, so I guess that’s a good thing.
