| Is a Linn Sondek LP12/Lingo/Ekos with a Cirkus update, the last turntable I’ll ever buy? A long time ago, a Linn turntable was considered to be the top of the heap. Now, in the midst of a major vinyl revival, they are lucky to sell even 500 tables a year. They make much more selling "updates" to their older tables which maybe weren'... | |
| PRIMA LUNA AMPLIFIERS "I can't speak to the Cayin, which I have heard is made at the same plant, but the unconfirmed rumors are that Cayin uses differently sourced parts and is not just a PrimaLuna with a different name slapped on it. Correct, Both are made by Spa... | |
| Harbeth 30.1 or 40.1 I think the 40.1 might be too big for your room-they have to be out from the walls quite a bit. Spatial speakers are really good. What is wrong with yours? | |
| Buying a new TT today I would go for the Technics 1200GR. I doubt you would be unhappy with it. Don't buy a VPI without hearing and using it first. I found the Scout/Scoutmaster models very unappealing with wonky tonearms and a rather anemic presentation. | |
| Upgrade help: Luxman and McIntosh. I have a Luxman 507ux and am very happy with it. I was also considering a McIntosh 2275 at the time but think I made the right choice. I am using it with Spendor monitors. | |
| You want it? Not much to think about since they will all sell out in a day or so. Already have a "G" in any case. I would like to try the cartridge though. Hopefully, they will make more down the road. | |
| Technics or Thorens, need suggestions Technics 1200G for $2500? Buy it! I doubt you will be unhappy with it but,if you are, you can resell it for no loss. If you want a wood frame built for it, there is a free plan for one on the KABUSA website. Any carpenter could make one for no... | |

| Miyajima Zero Mono on Technics 1200G @chakster The Grace F14 LC-OFC looks great but it is really rare! Wish they still made them. I have had bad experiences in the past buying used cartridges so I am wary of buying things like this online. Most of my records are mid 60s and earlier ... | |
| Perfect Path Total Contact no longer? For the price this stuff sold for, I am amazed that no one is willing to copy it. Anything one man can do another man can do!Weren't the mats mostly shungite? | |
| Miyajima Zero Mono on Technics 1200G Still undecided about the Miyajima cartridge as I haven't heard of anyone else using one on my table. Two dealers told me that thought it would be fine but from past experiences I have learned to be cautious. I really appreciate all the comments... | |
| Miyajima Zero Mono on Technics 1200G I have a heavy headshell, counterweight and even a KAB fluid damper on the table. I think it would PROBABLY work fine but would feel better about making the purchase if I could hear from someone who is actually using this cartridge with a Technic... | |
| Miyajima Zero Mono on Technics 1200G Thanks for the suggestion but that is a very different turntable from what I have. I think he uses a Sorane arm with it. I am sure it sounds fantastic though! | |
| Turntable and Arm Combination in 5K range (maximum) For piano music a direct drive turntable like the Technics 1200G would be something to consider. The sound is certainly quick and dynamic! | |
| OMG, just removed my speaker grills and the sound just opened up to a new level! I wish they all could beat California grills! |
