Hi

Ive heard various things about the Technics SL1200 being a giant killer and fantastic turntable, is this the same item as currently sold on Amazon for around a grand ?

Is it really a hifi quality product from a sound viewpoint ?

Thanks

Hello, I was curious to know from those who own one of these devices if it is capable of reading music files directly off of an external NAS drive without the need for music library software (ie..itunes..etc) on a computer somewhere?

In terms of connectivity I was thinking along the lines of hooking a CAT5 directly from the external NAS to the Logitech devices network port.

Was sad to read of the passing of Bernard Coutaz, founder of Harmonia Mundi, at the age of 87. In common with possibly many Stereophile readers I find HM very well represented in my own collection, both on vinyl and CD. I have particularly enjoyed their comprehensive survey of Handel's operas.

Just purchased the mentioned set of balanced cables. As both my CDP and amp are fully balanced, I wanted to replace my "good-for-nothing" interconnects with a set that might kick some serious butt. They get a very good review the only website I was able to find one, a Danish hifi review page. (No translation available, sorry)

As a brand new-bee I'd like to say "hi" to everyone here and look forward to sharing fact and fantasy here in the future.
As for right now it's 6.30AM and there is football and coffee waiting.
Back soon... oh, and for anyone who also posts at Audio Asylum, a special big HOWDY to you!!!
