It similar to the 'digital versus vacuum tubes'. Many people don't realize that you can turn a technics 1200/1210 into a great hi-fi turntable. They are highly upgradable. People just assume because these decks were designed for DJ'ing they can't possibly sound good. I used to be a member of this forum: https://theartofsound.net https://theartofsound.net. There are guys on there who have spent a few thousand upgrading their technics. New tonearms, platters, motors, and other stuff. And they thought their upgraded 1200/1210 sounded better than belt drive decks which were 4X or 5X more expensive. I have an upgraded Technics Mk5. I've only spent a few hundred on it but it's the best sound deck I've ever heard.
