Swapping the MMF 5 for an SL-1210M5G

Hey everyone:

What are your thoughts on this move?? My original record player was a Yamaha YP-D6 from the late 70s and though it was a little jittery and such, there was something about the bass control on a direct drive that I miss now when compared to the MMF 5. I have to admit though, when I swapped out the TTs (while keeping the same phono cartridge) there was a noticable improvement on it's smootheness and the music rounded out very nicely.

Johnnyb53, do you have the KAB PS-1200 external power supply? If not, you will find that mod will take your 12xx into the stratosphere.

I just got word that my tonearm dampener is shipping now, so hopefully I will have it setup for the weekend.

I can express enough the potential of the Technics SL1210MG5 has to offer for those who are willing to do a little work.

103, nice move. When you are ready (further on down the road) try putting a wood body on the 103. :)
