My Christmas present, fully loaded(finally) *PIC*

[nick29498141]

Hey all,

This is my new Numark TT-200 turntable, It's Direct drive, with an optional Tonearm, and a Stanton E500 MKII cartridge "budget hifi", sound great for under 40$, It's also a 3 speed table, so I got a Pickering wide groove 78 cart. too! I think I've finally got the tracking force to somewhere around 1.5 grams, (which is optimal for the Stanton) but It might be closr to 1g. It's about to play a BOC record, I know you can tell. oh, and I bought it from KAB USA along with a great 2-channel mixer/pre-amp for $340 If you ever need a new table, or cart. go to kabusa.com it's a great company with excellent service, like PE. NK

Nick, nice 'table! I, too, have received excellent service and advice from Kevin at KAB...he helped me get the right belt for my Yamaha YP-211, even tho' it wasn't listed on the site. It's the correct size and now I'm enjoying all the half-speed mastered vinyl I got when I worked at that audio store in Seattle. I've recommended KAB to a few other vinyl heads. Thanks for the nice photo!
