| SAT 30K+$$ TONEARM: W O R T H T O H A V E I T ? @advanced101 thanks for the link, here is a part of the article about alignment from Marc Gomez of SAT: The alignment that I use for the SAT arms is based on the Löfgren equations conventionally used by many other manufacturers. Although most manu... | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B Thanks for clarifications @jpjones3318 , so this round shape of the bottom of SP10R will fit into square shape of the old plinth like SH-10b3. Good. | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B @pryso SP-10R can not be used with SH-10B3 Obsidian Plinth made for SP-10 mkII simply because the shape of the SP-10r is different. So i think it can be used ONLY with SH-10B5 Obsidian Plinth made for SP-10 mk III | |
| Miyajima MADAKE experience @montesquieu I also have SPU Royal with Replicant 100 stylus, how do you like this cartridge compared to Madake? Ikeda 9c is in my wantlist too. | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B Pani, why 100v is a problem for you? Powerful step-down trans is not a dig deal. I've never seen 220v versions or even 110 volt version of the SP-10mkII in my life. The very high price for Sp-10 mkII you're quoting including Bill's margine for ref... | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B @tzh21y we’re starting debates about many different turntables all over again, but the question is pretty simple: SL1200G is better than SP-10 MKII ? The are both made by Technics and considered High-End Direct Drives. But the SP-10 mkII (a separa... | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B Right @lewm , none of them were refurbished, but someone already answered earlier to your advice to change all the caps on any turntables. The answer was not to bother if everything works fine, no leakage etc. I have opened power supply of my SP-1... | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B To be honest i’ve never seen stock SP-10 mkII drive for $2500 anywhere for sale (it’s too high), i paid $1200 including express delivery from Hong Kong for my SP-10mkII and there is no single scratch on it. Now they are still $1200-1400 top withou... | |
| Technics Sp10 Mk2 vs SL-1200G - I finally did an A/B Good news, PaniWhy not a better cartridge for comparison of such a nice turntables ?As for the price i don’t agree, about $4000 for SL1200G is much higher that $1400 for a good SP-10mkII. If the old turntable is better than new it is even much che... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) @lewm Chakster, Is that Grace HS6 a current product or another piece of vintage art?It’s vintage, but very nice carbon fiber headshellIn the stores that had salesmen who spoke any English (a rarity), I inquired about pricing on the SP10R. No one ... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Grace HS-6 Carbon Fiber headshell is another option. | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) Dear @nkonor i assume $2800 price difference between SP-10 MKIII and SP-10R is not the big deal for you, right ? Especially if the difference between old and new model is so little in terms of sound and not audible as suggested by Lew (who has not... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) @lewm the price drop for SP-10MK3 makes this model a bit more affordable for us (normal people), you should not worry about it simply because you already have mk3 and i guess you are not gonna sell it. I already sold my SP-10mk2, so when it comes ... | |
| Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model) In Tokyo, the price difference between a used SP-10 mkIII and new SP-10R is already 300 000 Yen (about $2800), i’m sure this gap will be bigger in time. More SP-10 MKIII will be available for sale for lower prices. I have no idea about the service... | |
| Phono stage and cartridge The alignment of the CONICAL tip will NOT make a big difference, the conical tip is the most forgiving profile when it comes to alignment. You can set up by eyes and it's done. It is CONICAL/SPHERICAL, just look at this. And learn more about prof... |
