I used to own a Technics SL 1200 MK2 long time passing.
Is that still a good choice?

So anything in between?
Local shop near me always has an excellent choice of used and demo equipment.

Pick yourself up a used Brinkmann for $20k or the bargain SME at $6.4k and a Doshi tube phono at $6-10k, and one of the used $10-60k tube power amps they typically have floating around, a preamp of some flavor, and all you need is some speakers.
I don't like most of their speakers because I'm not a fan of box speakers, but the consignment section has seen Quads, Magnapan and some rare exotic classics.
So you want to get into the best, better have north of $60,000 to spend and that's used. The big room at that store starts +$250,000 systems.
So the moral of this story is you can want the best, we all want the best, right? However finding the best for you and within your budget is another matter.
The store mentioned above has these educational evening musical events where we get treated to free food and listen to half million dollar systems, but I still like my system at home (
well under 10k) better because it suits my ears and not assaults them.
