Anyone replace the power cord on 1200G?

Sure sure did. The right cord can make a substantial improvement.

@tzh21y Technics' overhang tool was off from what? Technics use a proprietary Japanese pseudo Stevenson like alignment. The tool is not off. 

@tzh21y Either explain what it's "off" from, or please stop spreading misinformation. 

@jtsnead "Off" indicates that something is wrong with the Technics. Why does it need to match the Feikert and why is it considered off or wrong if it does not match it? 

@tzh21y It's a proprietary Technics  alignment, that just like Stevenson, it favors inner groove distortion. It's actually very close to Stevenson, but not exact.

If you prefer the standard Stevenson A, that's perfectly fine. I prefer Lofgren A, or B myself.

Just don't knock the Technics' gauge. It's not off, nor is it wrong. Just an alignment Technics' engineers like and designed the table/tonearm for. 

@tzh21y You're like a broken record. Who cares about Mint's Stevenson? Technics has a proprietary Japanese alignment. Of course it will not match to the Stevenson A. But why should it? And how is it off or wrong? Technics' gauge will allow you to alight the cartridge to Technics' proprietary Japanese alignment, which is similar to Stevenson A, but slightly different. Tonearm was designed for this special alignment.

Now of course you can allign the cartridge to a standard Stevenson A, or Lofgren A, or Lofgren B because of the slotted headshell, but that's just you deviating from what the tonearm was designed for. 

You shouldn't spread false information that Technics' gauge is off. It's actually absolutely perfectly right on to the Technics' chosen alignment.

@ericsch That is all that's required to perfectly set it up to Technics' alignment. But if you want to experiment with other alignments, then you'll need additional protractors.

@tzh21y Did you specify alignment with Mint when ordering? I believe if you don't specify, you'll get Stevenson A as a default. 

@jbhiller Baerwald is not a real alignment. It's called Lofgren A and credit should be given to Lofgren for inventing it. 

@pryso Baerwald is precisely the same as Lofgren A, which was invented several years before, as you’ve posted. Credit should always be given to Lofgren.
