I've been using this
Audio Technica LP-120 for over 10 years now. For the past about 9 years, it has been carrying a Denon DL-110 high output moving coil cartridge with a narrow elliptical diamond stylus.
I bought the A-T table when the Technics SL-1200 was desirable but out of production. The LP-120 is mostly very similar, with similar features. [The Technics is back, mostly for DJs, at about 6X the price of the LP-120.
Cult status...]
One selection criterion was 78 rpm capability. I have a number of 78 rpm acetate discs that I once cut from vintage tapes. For them, I have a shell with a Shure mono cartridge. Most belt-drive TTs cannot do 78 rpm. The LP-120 can -- and 45 rpm if that's your need.
As a pianist,
I'm pretty critical of wow and flutter. The first few hours with the LP-120 were disappointing; there was audible variation in pitch on sustained long piano tones. Then, one day, I noticed that variation was almost gone and the day after, gone entirely. It was probably caused by bearing wear-in. Since then, no issues whatsoever, but with streaming, my usage has dwindled.
The replacement of the existing cartridge with a Denon DL-110 was super good luck. It tracks light, and the narrow, elliptical diamond works miracles on not-new vinyl. Older, larger styli did their damage further 'up' in the groove. Clean the disc and it plays nearly like new. I particularly noticed a much more stable imaging of orchestral instruments than the old hundred-dollar MM pickup, and much greater clarity of transients -- especially percussion and piano. The trumpets stay rock solid where they belong, and so do the oboes and horns. Disc surface noise is much reduced, and even the inner diameter grooves don't degrade much in character. And the best part of the DL-110 is that it is about the same output as an MM. And it's designed to be terminated about the same as a typical MM, so little or no issues with the capacitance and impedance of the preamp.
I do not use the internal preamp of the LP-120. I have used it, but I prefer the perceived clarity of my preamp's MM phono input with the DL-110.
YMMV
