Which TT in Nait-2/Kan-II system

Posted by: Alco on 30 June 2001

Hi folks,

'Thanx' to some vinyl-enthousiasts in my area and one a Dutch HiFi-forum, my love for vinyl started
growing again.

The last couple o' weeks,I discovered different s/h bargains (?) on the internet as wel as in stores.

Now, if you had a Nait-2/CD-3.5/Kan-II setup,which TT would be the best choice ?
(considering price/performance value)
I only have about 25 LP's left,but I can get more)

The following TT's cought my attention:

A s/h Linn LP12/Ittok/K18/Valhalla about 750,- UKP.

A s/h Linn Axis/Akito/AT cartridge for 375,- UKP.

A brandnew Transrotor "Leonardo"/Rega rb300/Goldring eroica for 850,- (also looks absolutely stunning)

A cheap s/h Thorens TD166 mkII for 75,- UKP
(and ad a Rega rb300 arm on it.)

A s/h Pro-ject 6.1 for about 180,-

or...non of the above?

IF I would go for the LP12,I would've to order it without seeing/hearing it first. It has to be sent to me by mail. Would that be worth the risk?

Greetings,
Alco.

I'd probably opt for the LP12 if in-budget, however as an interim step a Project 6.1 is a lot of turntable for 180 quid!
