Whats the best way to digitise your vinyl?

They were, the first 1200's were sold without tone arms in the hi-fi specialist magazines as users often prefered to add their own tone arms.

huh. i had read that the technics 1200 wasn't the best for audiophile quality because of the noise from the (required for djing) very powerful platter/torque?

i won't proclaim myself a great expert on it, but was repeating what i had read before.

and yeah, dj mixers bad. i run my table through a soundboard with built in RIAA eq for vinyl ripping. lil soundcraft compact 4. does the trick.

You are right, although the deck WAS sold as a hi-Fi seperate it didnt last very long in that market for the reasons you outlined above, hence why the very best Hi-Fi decks are belt drive.
