I'm running an AT33Sa MC on my SL1200 MK2 with stock arm into a Vincent PHO-701 phono pre and it absolutely sings. I would give a MC a go, and get another headshell, so easy to swap carts on Technics.
New TT or new Cart? Technics content
Signal chain:
Fully upgraded KAB Technics 1200 / AT 440 MLA
Parasound Hint6 (integrated Phono)
DIY Mogami Cables
KEF LS50 (w/ PSA subwoofer)
Options that i'm considering:
With the full TT upgrades, I likely have the equivalent of the 1200GR (to within an acceptable range). I guess the first question would be - can I get more performance out of this setup with a new cart? Thinking AT150MLX, Hana SL, etc.
1200G? Most costly, probably need a matching cart. Probably the biggest exponential jump in terms of performance.
Dual subwoofers? KEF / REL? The hint6 will drive 2 separately. I'm currently using HT Bypass and running a single sub.
What do you think is the best bang for the buck upgrade?
