SAEC Making Tonearms Again! @invictus005 Don’t forget that audiogon members experienced that Technics reference sound for 20-30 years or even longer. The SP-10 mkIII was one of the ultimate Direct Drive ever made for decades. The best plinth makers offered an amazing plinth ... | |
what tubes for eastern electric minimax phono? original NOS military Telefunken from the 60s or 70s if you're looking for the extremely low noise, low microphonic, long life. I bought mine from The Tube Museum (NYC,USA) | |
Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G @helomech actually the OP @vinny55 started new (or posted in every old) thread about Technics on audiogon to justify his new purchase - the old Technics SL1200mkII, so he’s got this turntable, what he can do now is to upgrade some parts or even re... | |
Cartridge replacment time @helomech it’s impossible to beat the Shure M97xe and Jico SAS combo for a MM in that price range. It's pretty easy to beat that cartridge even if your replacement Jico SAS. The SAS is Micro Ridge, the cnatilever is Boron for an old SAS and Ru... | |
Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G Well, with all my reapect, i’m really tired about all that Technics talks on audiogon. I’ve been using my pair of SL1210mkII for more than 20 years for my professional needs, it was modded to deliver much better sound that stock version. I’ve had ... | |
Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G vinny55 The 1200G is even better than sp10mk2/3 according to specs It's hard to imagine than 1200G is better than SP-10mkIII, maybe SP-10R is better or equal, but the 1200G is not Technics reference turntable in the production line, while the S... | |
Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G @helomech i did actually used Pioneer for a few hrs, it is made like a clone of Technics to make it comfortable for DJs got used to Technics. Pioneer making them primary for deejays like all their gear nowadays (mixers, cdj players etc). They are ... | |
who knows ZYX retipping or refurbish ? @andychris That's not correct, they can repair your original cartridge if it's no more available on the market, but the price will be the same as if you want a brand new cartridge from the new serie. Never heard about it, did you repaired some... | |

Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G Why the original Technics owner should look for an ugly clone made by Pioneer for pro market? Any old Technics can be upgraded by the owner. Technics invented this design and it’s a legend!Other companies just makes clones of this design, they can... | |
Needing some help figuring out my Panasonic sl-1000 Turntable You have a nice turntable in perfect condition in original plinth. You got it for nothing, collectors could buy it from you, put it on ebay auction and you will see the real price. The first SP-10 does NOT have a quartz-lock like all later models,... | |
Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? Now in 2018 both statements is right, no matter what you think about SL1200mkII or SL1210mkII or mk3D, mk4, mk5 or ltd. 1) Technics is a DJ turntable, becase for over 30 years it is a worldwide dj standard. This particular model will be in any tec... | |
Needing some help figuring out my Panasonic sl-1000 Turntable Technics, National-Panasonic, Panasonic ... this is all the same, it depends on the region of sales and registered trademarks in this region. Same analogy: RCA-Victor, JVC, Victor Laboratory, Victor ... Why you're so concern about the glued label... | |
TECHNICS SL1200 MKII.......THE REAL FACTS Technics SP-20 (released in 1976) is a budget version of SP-10mk2. The price for SP-20 in Japan was 60 000 Yen in the 70’s. Don’t mix it up with the cheaper SP-10 released in 1969, the SP-20 is a way different (improved, powerfull turntable) and i... | |
Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? It was not designed as a "disco" turntable for deejays, 3 000 000 copies sold since it was made. It's bulletproof quality with only one main disadvanage when it's used by deejays and this fact is a proof that it was not primary designed for dj use... |
