NIN Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 I have never owned a turntable before, so I am basically a novice when it comes to this kind of stuff. Anyways I have narrowed it down to these two turntables: Pro-Ject Debut lll Audio Technica AT-LP120 + this cartridge if I get this one: Shure M97xE I understand that Pro-Ject is a better brand, but I just wan't more insights/opinions.

Check out threads concerning the Pro-ject Debut Carbon from Musician's Friend. Even without the silly gift card deals, you can get one for around $15 more than the standard Debut that you linked.

YouTwo Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Check out threads concerning the Pro-ject Debut Carbon from Musician's Friend. Even without the silly gift card deals, you can get one for around $15 more than the standard Debut that you linked. How do you figure that? I see the Carbon is $399 and the Debut III is $325. Is there a special on Musicians Friend that makes it cheaper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must find it incredibly difficult to make your way in the world. dethrock and trevorxramage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you were posting in another thread about some budget speakers. If you are looking for a more budget turntable have you looked into the U-Turn Orbit? http://www.uturnaudio.com It gets a lot of praise for it's price tag. It would probably sound better than that Audio Technica. P.S. did you decide on some speakers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YouTwo Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 (edited) You must find it incredibly difficult to make your way in the world. That's $75 difference by my math. I was just asking how you got the $15 difference. Now I see. You just have to wait for a 15% off coupon. The gift card thing is what confused me. But it looks like that's expired anyway.

IanRees Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 love my pro-ject but the only downsides are no auto return and unless you buy a speed box you have to take off the platter and move the band to change the rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HybridxReality Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 That U-Turn looks appealing, but I'm sure a MMF 2.2 would sound superior, yeah? Because that's what I'm going for (MMF). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might not have to wait, just call them and say that you heard they offered a 15% discount on over-the-phone orders and they might honor that or at least give you 10% off.

Tardcore Posted October 28, 2014 Share Posted October 28, 2014 they don't even really do coupons anymore. They just say to call and ask. I know of zero people who were denied the ~$340 price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard the U-Turn so I can't compare, but I'm very happy with my MMF 2.2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
himynameisdk Posted October 31, 2014 Share Posted October 31, 2014 I have a MMF 2.2 and I absolutely love it and I use to have a LP120. The reality is if you buy the LP120 you're going to want to upgrade within 6 months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
