Looking through these posts, I feel like a child in a chocolate factory. I bought an Akai Direct Drive record from a friend for 2K around 1997-98. It's now a part of my dad's system. Over the years it has developed a small problem: wherein the stylus arm doesn't sit at the first song but almost off the record. Having found no good technician, my dad has been managing it for most of these years. I myself had moved from Hyderabad to Bombay in 2000 in search of greener advertising pastures. Those were the years when record players had still not made a come back. Then in 2011, longing for the sound of a record player, I bought a very basic AT LP60 and have been using it since. But now I long for a record player that plays my modest collection better ... I have some Beatles, Young, ELP etc. I have been looking for a Technics SL1200 for sometime. I even considered buying it from hifido in Japan but the shipping charges are too high as is the risk of damage. It would be great if I could find one in India. I live in New Bombay but wouldn't mind traveling if there's a good Technics, preferably an SL1200, anywhere in the country. Scanning through these posts, I saw that Mr.Kuruvilla and Mr.Shafic have had such record players on offer. I will be very grateful if they or anyone else could point me towards a good record player ... Technics or something similar.
