| FR64 cartridge suggestions Do you have both counterweight of the different mass for your FR tonearms or they are all have the same big and heavy counterweight ? If the compliance is 10μm/mN @ 10Hz then it's fairly low conpliance and heavy mass is what you need. But if t... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G If the mat should be as the LP why not just put an LP undern LP ? Some people actually doing it I use gunmetal Micro Seiki CU-180, CU-500, and SAEC SS-300 alloy mat. I have a comparison chart made by Micro Seiki and SAEC comes very close to Micro... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G Not sure if Ralph ever tried rare SAEC SS-300 alloy mat, but in my opinion this is amazing mat for Technics turntables of all kind from the SP-20 to the SP-10 mkII and SL1200 series | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G @tzh21y Look for mounting distance on Reed website Pivot to spindle distance is 223 mm for ’9.5 inch Reed 3P tonearm Yes, you can mount it on Technics SL1200G if you will make a custom armboard, the distance is fine and the tonearm cable will be ... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G There is no such thing as "the best arm" for certain turntable, unless the pivot to spindle distance and the armboard allow us to mount the arm we have many to choose (depends on the cartridge). Reed 3p tonearm does not require even a hole in the ... | |
| Cartridge new or used ? This is MicroLine diamond under professional microscope and this is the same diamond under macro lens for iPhone. When the diamond (stylus tip) is bigger we can see the diamond much better, this is brand new, never used Dynavector MicroReach diamo... | |
| What about diamond cantilever/stylus combo @griffithds is that your fist post in a while or am i missed something ? Glad you returned to the message board. | |
| Cartridge new or used ? First you have to know which stylus profile, then you can search for the manual to find out a life span of the stylus. Some of them must be replaced after 300-500 hrs, some more expensive can be replaced after 1500 or even 2000 hrs. You can count ... | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G @nandric well, never tried them, i can only recommend what i have tried and what i really like. But you're welcome to add more interesting tonearms. | |
| Nottingham Spacedeck vs Rega Planar 8 vs Technics SL1200G There are many more amazing tonearms on the market, do not limit yourself with a brand new tonearms like Jelco. They are OK, but nothing special. Look and read more about Japanese High-End tonearms from the past, all of them in the list below have... | |
| Any Love for the Pioneer PLX-1000 Yet? @schubert i’ve tried that Pioneer few years ago in Paris, it’s just a clone of old Technics DJ classics, it’s OK and better than cheaper clones from Stanton, Audio-Technica and some other no-name turntables that looks just like the old Technics SL... | |
| Turntable got absolutely crushed by CD @dynaquest4 When digital photography was limited to 4 to 8 megapixels, "purists" said film was better; despite all the many disadvantages and expense of film and film processing. Now with 24 megapixels being the standard, nobody (hardly) argues th... | |
| Recommendations for an MC cart on Audiogon When you bought the Sumiko cartridge seller’s feedback does not help much, you have received defective cartridge and not even get a quick refund?When you see many feedbacks you’re dealing with professional sellers. Even those cheaters who sells gr... | |
| Any Love for the Pioneer PLX-1000 Yet? Pioneer is a nonsense since the Technics is back to business with $1700 SL1200GR and more expensive G model for serious audiophiles. Pioneer lovers should look for PL70 II instead. At that time Pioneer did not tried to copy Technics design.Their o... | |
| How good is the Technics 1200 Mk2 with all the KAb upgrades? Well the you can hear the hum only at MAXIMUM volume which we don’t use in real life in the living room. Also in addition you’re hearing a hum from the phono stage and amp as you said. Also your music is not at the "leadout groove" on the record, ... |
