| New Technics SL 1200 GAE Jbhiller:I'ts an an awesome table and I'm glad you're enjoying yours. You are the only other person that I've read whose tried going into manual mode and lowering the torque. I went back to auto mode about 2 weeks ago just to remind myself of how ... | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE Jbhiller: definatley don't use a lot of force on the potentiometer (it is not a screw).When you are making these changes I would have the unit powered down or unplugged from the wall socket.the fact that it was aleafy turned down doesn't mean anyt... | |
| Review: iFi iPhono Preamplifier Hi, I just happened to be reviewing my past posts as I am about to write a review of the new iPhono 2 + iTube 2 that I have. The original review was the 1st gen iPhono. The upcoming review which is admittedly a lttile ways off as I continue to bre... | |
| What is Technics thinking? aragonx 5:You are welcome. Concerning the headshell, it will really depend on the compliance of the cartridge you are using. I note that with a Denon 103r which is a lower compliance cartridge my system sounds much better with the 12gram LP Zuprem... | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE I own the GAE along with a Technics SP10 mk3 NG by Artisan Fideluty which has a Kuzma 4 Point installed and a MC Anna. My GAE holds its own with its much older and bigger brother (my mk 3 weighs about 180 lbs) with the beyond excellent stock Cold ... | |
| I heard the $4000 Focal Utopia Headphones yesterday nonoise: Nice one! LOL | |
| I heard the $4000 Focal Utopia Headphones yesterday Beryllium dust is deadly but as no one will be subject to beryllium dust from a set of headphones I think you are good. I don't suggest that anyone should extract the beryllium diaphragm, drill it to create a cloud of dust and then inhale deeply :... | |
| What is Technics thinking? The effective mass for the GAE is 12gm based on my findings in a review on the table. | |
| What is Technics thinking? In the original post concerning the power supplies I wrote:Last evening (out of boredom) I took the SMPS out of my Mac Mini and wired in a regulated SMPS, held my breath and fired it up (probably the wrong term to use when discussing computers :).... | |
| What is Technics thinking? Forgive my typo please:I intended to convey that before the upgraded power supply was placed in the man, the GAE presented a better musical experience in the vast majority of the cases unless the LP I was comparing was simply an inferior recording. | |
| What is Technics thinking? It should be noted that before I replaced the SMPS in my Mac mini with the regulated linear power supply it was mostly better than my digital and that with a Denon 103R. In all fairness, the phono stage is the fabulous AMR PH77 with a set of Bendi... | |
| What is Technics thinking? Achilles heel:Is the GAE perfect? The answer is no and I have known it's problem since before it was released. Early in my quest for this table I sent an email to the support department at Panasonic that handles the GAE and inquired as to the type... | |
| What is Technics thinking? A good friend loaned me his Kiseki Purpleheart NS to try on the GAE. To say it was beautiful sounding is an understatement. The arm on the table is wonderful and far better than the its look-alike cousin on the SL1200 and its variants. Note that I... | |
| What is Technics thinking? Interesting video on the SL 1200 G.http://www.whathifi.com/news/technics-explains-whats-so-good-about-sl-1200g-turntable | |
| What is Technics thinking? My bad, I meant to write that I have it operating at about 0.70 kg-cm. |
