@vonhelmholtz , I changed my arm to an SME 309 on my GAE & installed that arm on my 1200 MK2. Now for the power supply, I was bouncing that idea just last week. I asked on another Forum & with a few replies, they all agreed that the PSU in the G/GAE made no degrading of the sound in those 2 units. I’ll now put my monies elsewhere.
Now the question is to me is, why is there a PSU on the 1000 R ?????
