Technics SL-1210G Headshells, Record Weights, and Mats
I just received a new Technics SL-1210G and am really enjoying it with my Pure Fidelity Stratos cartridge. Does anyone have any favorite record weights, head shells or record mats that they are using with the SL-1200/10G series? I may also add another cartridge to the setup and swap around. Any favorites there?
Thanks!
@danmar123, I am leaning towards the Hana ML for my 1200G. How do you like yours, pro's and con's? |
I am using a hard mat made by either Oracle or Origin but not sure which. I use a Harmonic Research weight. They make 2, mine is the lighter one. This is all used on a Technics SL1200G. I tried many different weights and the HRS is the best of the bunch. I tried 2 paper mats and the hard mat. The hard mat works the best. |
Michael Fremer tried a few weights and mats when he reviewed the SL1200G and concluded that the weight added a bit more focus to the sound or something like that. Of course he recommended some $600.00 record mat. Way too rich for my blood. I bought the weight second hand and like it better on my turntable than the very heavy Project Record puck I tried and filed away. |
