Why thank you Sir, you are obviously a man of great taste!

Nothing fancy here, though still pretty good sounding
Does anybody have any experience with one of these?
The Audio-Technica AT-LP240 sure likes it has the same tonearm/mechanics as Denon's DP-A100 "anniversary model", but without automatic operation and for about 1/5 the price.

Are you spinning Selected Ambient 85-92? I just picked that up...or is that Selected Ambient II? I'm waiting on a call from my importer on that one (should come in this week). I should've just pre-ordered on Amazon.
Great looking table. Technics have a special place in my heart.

That's one of my favorites in the whole thread. Fantastic.

It's Selected Ambient Works 85-92. Side A, playing Xtal
Although I think I got some shady bootleg version, not the official remastered 2006 version on R&S, and definitely not the original 1992 first press on Apollo.
Listening to this song is always an enchanting experience for me, from the first second until it fades out, regardless of mood or emotion. Deep, powerful stuff, what rare a timeless classic, I'm gonna spin it again right now!
The rest of the album is also top notch, and so is SAW2, but I never really got into his other stuff, too much Warp-weirdness for my tastes...
I love my 1210, combined with a sub-$100 cartridge and a DIY phono pre-amp it makes a pretty sweet sounding (mid-fi?) LP rig!

I love my turntable as much as anyone can (anyone normal, at least), but I don't ever fool myself that it is hi-fi. IMO, vinyl is mid-fi at best, no matter how expensive your rig is. My Pioneer specs are .035% wow and flutter, 80 dB S/N ratio (very similar to your SL-1200, which is very nice by the way). Those were good numbers back in the day, but nowhere near what we have today.
I enjoy my turntable for nostalgic reasons (the opening and cleaning ritual, watching the tonearm ride the groove, etc.) and for playing albums that aren't available on CD, MOG, etc. I like how my turntable sounds, but with a good converter, digital is vastly superior (poor mastering notwithstanding).
Nothing wrong with mid-fi. I've heard hi-fi and I don't like the diminishing returns on the dollar it takes to get that last 2% of sound quality. The top of the middle is where it's at!

Amen to that! (I think I just heard my wallet breathe a sigh of relief

Agreed, although I always let my ears decide, not specs

Technics SL-D5... Yeah that's an original pressing of Buddha by Blink-182. College in Chicago is much more bearable with all of my childhood memories on vinyl.
Any other dorm setups?

Exactly. It's not about having a high income, rather it's about using what money you do have in the most efficient way possible
