Thanks!

I need to replace my pitch control on a 1200 MKII.  I can find the fader by itself, but I am looking for one with the PC board attached.  I am trying to avoid soldering if possible.  I have found a couple that have everything attached including the wires so I would just have to plug in. Some of these look like cheaper quality parts.  Does anyone know where I can get a reliable part that is "plug and play"? Thanks.

Hello, if anyone is willing to sell there Millencolin Same Old Tunes LP please PM me. Thanks!

 

A VPI would be insane, but unfortunately it's way out of my budget at the moment.  Sounds like if I can get the Bluepoint on the 2Xperience I'm sold. 

Needledoctor has the 2Xperience w/ Sumiko Bluepoint no 2.

I knew I had seen it with that cart somewhere.

I am planning on moving soon and have started building a new listening setup.  I couldn't pass up a good deal, so I made a quick decision and purchased a Pro-ject RM 5.1 SE turntable (Black). After the purchase I decided that I prefer the Pro-ject 2Xperience Classic (Mahogany) for a couple of reasons. The first is that the 5.1 does not come with a dust cover, which I definitely want.  It's $100 to get one for the 5.1 but is included with the 2Xperience.  Another reason is that I feel  the 2Xperience will look better with my speakers (Martin Logan Motion 40s in cherrywood).  

After doing a little research, it appears that there is a difference in cartridge between the two models.  The 5.1 has a Sumiko Blue Point No. 2 and the 2Xperience has an Ortofon 2M Red.  There is a much higher price tag for the Sumiko cartridge, but the 2Xperience sells for a few hundred dollars more.  Is the cartridge that much better? I really like the look of the 2Xperience more, but I just want to make sure that I am not sacrificing noticeable audio quality for aesthetic differences.  

I have the 5.1 on eBay right now for $100 under MSRP so I can put toward the 2Xperience.  Any advice is appreciated before it sells.
