Technics

@hodu 

Did you check Fidelis in NH?  They were selling Technics when I bought my SL1200G?  I purchased mine from Adirondack Audio in Queensbury, NY.   An  excellent dealer who has many obscure brands on display.  The store owner Jason Tavares, grew up 30 miles from me!

I love the SL1200G and use it frequently.  Right now I am using a ZU modified Denon DL103 which is okay, but I will be ordering a Dynavector DV20X2L cartridge in a month or so.  I am using the moving coil input on my McIntosh C2500 tube preamp.  I can change the cartridge loading via remote on the fly.  I would call Jason at Adirondack Audio, they had my turntable in stock while all other dealers did not.

I will say that the SL1200G blew away the VPI Prime I had previously to the Technics.  Every aspect of the sound is much better.

@hodu,

If you are in western Mass, Queensbury NY is less than an hour from the NY/Ma line.
