The current Xerxes 20+ is an expensive deck Ifor, especially as the power supply must be bought separately. It is superbly made & finished however.
It had a far more 'meaty' & detailed sound than the Rega P9 it replaced - the P9 was a nice deck but sounded a little lightweight. 
Enjoy the search for a new deck.

The Rega P9's lack of any kind of in-built isolation was a problem & was the main reason for
changing it. Mounted on a wall shelf about 6' from speakers it was badly affected by bass
& drum vibrations at highish volumes - the arm would visibly wobble although the cartridge
did manage to stay in the groove. 
These decks need to be sited well away from speakers if music is played loud.
Some kind of isolation is desirable.

I have to say that a 1200G is a very desirable turntable. If I didn't already have four direct drive TTs I might be tempted . . . Embarrassed

Bob, I was expecting you at least to try to keep me on the PTP track.

LOL That's fair enough, Ifor - though I was just expressing my opinion on the Technics . . . 

I am still very smitten on the idler sound from the PTP, and though I'm playing my "new" Yammy parallel tracker a lot at the moment the Solid12 is the one I return to for the Rolls Royce presentation!
