Technics SL 1200 GR
Hi everyone,
I know that a lot of you might think I am crazy but it is what it is. I heard a Rega Planar 6 play a few days ago and was totally mesmerized with the sound. This will be my first TT and I am the type that prefers to buy the best I can instead of starting small, selling and upgrading. I have to admit, I do enjoy fiddling with upgrades but the idea is to get a future proof turntable and upgrade stuff like cartridges, etc along the way.
Before you recommend that I get the P6, its simply out of my budget. I could consider the P3 if you believe its better than the SL 1210 GR (not the latest model 2 but the original one).
Anyway, here are some questions I was hoping you'd be able to help me with:
Thanks in advance for your help. I appreciate it!
Thanks for clarifying @kahlenz. I'll keep in mind. I'm pretty sure it won't be long before I wanna upgrade the cart. Lol
Thanks @lalitk. I’ll check out the Parasound.
The AT cartridge will arrive today. I bought one that’s already installed to a head shell. Its supposed to be pre-aligned. My stylus gauge and protractor doesn’t arrive until tomorrow. Should I wait to make sure i have the accurate tracking force and alignment or trust the cartridge alignment and Technics tracking force knob? |
@prashanth14485 You’re a bad influence bud! I may buy this for shits and giggles :-) https://youtu.be/V6o2G5N_R8w?si=os0qrP2VDWXIPson

@lalitk haha.. I just set it up and played Dire Straits Brothers in Arms original master recording. Boy, I'm simply blown away. So happy with the sound. Such a good recording. Thanks everyone for all the inputs.. my vinyl journey has just begun.. can't wait to try diff carts and see how much better they can sound.. cheers! |
westcoastaudiophile haha, i don't doubt it. I hope I can upgrade to the 1200G at some point. For now, I am totally blown away with the 1210 GR. |
