Hi folks,
Iīm in the market for a new turntable. Right now I am working with two 1210 and an A&H xone 42 and i want to extend my current setup with a third turntable. Basically it will just be used to add some spoken word parts (old vinyls like speeches, old childrensī tales/fables and stuff like that) or e.g. ambient sounds to my actual mix, which will be played an the technics (mainly minimal and house).
So (as I see it) there is no need for top of the line specs like really low wow and flutter and stuff. And as i'm not a professional by any means another 1200 is way out of my budget or what i am willing to pay for that kind of gimmick.
So, now i am looking at the audio technica 120, PLX 500 or the Reloop 4000 (used of course!), which basically seam to be the same model (standard OEM turntable?).
But there is one thing that bothers me: The platter looks really really cheap and light weight. In some youtube videos you can hear that metallic sound, when the dots on the platter are touched to slow it down --> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRB1wpQdLMI (at min 6:52), why i expect the platter to have really bad feedback and resonance.
Then again, all the reviews say itīs an all right turntable and i have seen many people using it. maybe it isnīt that bad?
Do you think a rubber mat under the normal slipmat would dampen that?
Maybe here is someone who is using one of there turntables and could answer my question
