Reply to using audio technica lp120 with technics sl1200

Hey ive been lurking the community s for a little bit and got a question some of my dj buddies couldnt answer.

I asked for turntables for xmas and my folks got me a lp120, im stoked on it but want to eventually go with two technics. I dont believe ill be able to afford a pair to start out with so i was wondering if both the audio technica and a single technic will work together in the meantime. i know the lp120 has built in preamp and no ground (even though i was planning on gettin that modded on the 1200s) So will i get away with using two different tables?

thanks all for the feedback
