The Trews’ cover of Rush’s Cinderella Man is on the 40th Anniversary edition of A Farewell to Kings. |
Read lots info about cartridges, turntables, etc etc.
I had an ortofon x5-mc, great, but output was weak.
Went with the Archiv Concorde, and the nightclub II CONCORDE.
I record my records with the Archiv to my computer, as it puts emphasis on the treble and midrange.
The nightclub, puts emphasis on the bass and lower midrange freq.
depends on the LP, and recording as to which one I use.
I use both for playback, outlying the nightclub, as the bass extension with the nightclub is stellar.
Easy on/off styli replacement, etc , always sounds great!!
Three technics SL-1200’s. 2 from late 80’s and the black 1210 from maybe mid 90’s, all,are superb, sound great, reliable, great sound.
had a couple other tt’s, but these 1200’s still reign supreme.
Never had such a reliable and tough TT to date.
I’m sure they will last another 25 years when I pass them down to my junior audio dude.
along, with my other audio gear.
Rip, talk poorly, arm, internals, etc etc.
these SL-1200s’ mk 2’s are the most reliable tt’s I’ve ever owned.
been through many others, Panasonic, pioneer, Sony, dual, thorens, I don’t like the glasses, magnifying glass hooking up the leads, etc etc.
ill use these technics SL-1200’s til they stop, which I’m sure will be another 30 years.
Made sure years back, I bought the best, and I did! |
@spiritofradio - Thanks for that. I had not heard The Trew's version of "Cinderella Man". Took a listen. Not bad. But it doesn't compare musically with the original IMHO.
Anyway, The Trews were really good when I saw them live. Good enough that I've kept an eye on their touring schedule to try to catch them again. |
@reubent I agree. Fun though.
40th Anniversary Permanent Waves is out with pre-orders now in transit. My set is expected to arrive on Friday. |
Parliament—Mothership Connection
Modest Mouse—The Lonesome Crowded West
Robert Palmer—Secrets

@arkticdeth, thanks for posting and welcome to the thread. There are a couple others here, including myself, that appreciate the 1200. I’ve used one for more than 30 years. It only recently moved to a second system.
Hope you’ll let us know what you’re spinning on yours. |

@spiritofradio, yes Palmer had talent. That’s all I have of him on physical media, unfortunately. Worst thing about this pandemic, all the record stores here are closed. |
@dramatictenor Right! I drive by my favorite LRS pretty regularly and feel a pang of longing every time.

@noromance ,
I guess you're keeping us in the dark on the new tonearm for a reason, but I'm going to make a guess. I hope it's the Trans - Fi. |
My Morning Jacket "Acoustic Gitsuoga, Live!" |
My Morning Jacket "Evil Urges" |
Calexico / Spoke

Yeah @boxer12,
Don't notice it played much anymore. |

Arlo Guthrie - Hobo’s Lullabye. Reprise. 1972.
|
I take a few days away and @noromance leaves team Jelco for parts unknown ???
on a somewhat related note, my rescue Sumiko FT-3 is headed back to me with new Cardas wire, fixed bearings AND a Carbon Fiber arm wand... it’s a fairly stout arm in aluminum- I am hoping it is now up to a Decca.... we shall see... |
@tomic601 ,
Can you say who did the work? |

Look forward to hearing the results of that "mod" Tomic! |

Steve Tim from @maze_analog here on Audiogon- incredibly reasonable prices, great communication and turnaround.
Only caveat is I have not heard it yet but to be fair Tim will have rescued an arm that has been broken and unused for 12 years ( not by me ).... fun :-)
|
Thanks Jim. I'm set to send my arm to Audiooragami but hesitant about shipping to Scottland right now? |
Here's a few lps in my mits this week:

+1 on the Fairport Convention.
Remember catching them live in England many years ago. |
I guess you're keeping us in the dark on the new tonearm for a reason, but I'm going to make a guess. I hope it's the Trans - Fi. @slaw Not at all. ;-) I added some pics on the systems page. It's a custom arm beautifully made (by the guy who made my 401 bearing) and based on the Well Tempered concept. |
@uberwaltz Bkeske.
+1 on the Fairport Convention.
Remember catching them live in England many years ago. Oh man, you lucky dog. Have been a fan since the early-mid 70’s. Was Sandy Denny with them? |
@noromance girls... plural...
@slaw Tim is in safe and secure Kansas... even Toto made it back! |
@tomic601 ,
Is the Sumiko going on your SOTA? |
So the flat black disc analog front end for Poverty Bay is shaping up: SOTA Sapphire, Sumiko / Maze FT-3 Tonearm, Cartridge TBD, IF MC then into a Music Reference RM-4 then into a Single chassis Croft RIAA- RS....MC or MI right into Croft.
The B&O will go into duty in the Vintage system....
you guys are a bad influence... |
......but in a good way, right?
Sometimes it's good to be bad. |
Bkeske
Sadly no, it was way after her untimely death.
Second incarnation mid to late 90,s. |
Every time I think about a new tone arm I look at how well engineered this Micro Seiki arm is and how well it works and think... nope not yet...lol.
Besides it just looks so right on the 401 and it’s plinth. |
@tomic601 MI into the RIAA's got to be better than all that MC stuff!
|
@tomic601 girls... plural... Still have the 9" 850 in use and the 12" 850 can go to the walnut 401. And then there's the two 12" 750 left over. |
The Rosebuds "Sand + Silence" |

Nice problem to have... “ leftover” 12” Jelco arms.... 😂 |
