| Dereneville Magic-Mat Checked the link and what i see is this mat on Technics SL1200 mkII or related model. The mat is too thin for this particular turntable. The problem with a super thin mat for Technics SL1200 series is tonearm setup, it's impossible to make a tonea... | |
| If you love the Ortofon 2M Black, you'll really love...... (help me upgrade) @boxer12 do you know that Clearaudio got their MM cartridge generators from the Audio-Technica inexpensive models? You should try the AT top of the line MM cartridges like the AT-ML180 OCC or OFC. | |

| Gold Note PH10, Bryston BP2, Clear Audio Smart V2 If your phono stage didn’t show any changes from capacitance changes on the input interface from the MM Cartridge, I’d say that this is most likely due to either the characteristics of the cartridge being used or the circuitry design of the phono ... | |
