| Technics 1200 MK2 vs Technics SL-1210GR An interesting case can be made for the recent Technics turntables by doing a search for "Marc Phillips Tone Audio Magazine Technics 1200". Mr. Phillips back in 2006 took it upon himself to demonstrate the obvious poor quality of the ubiquitous T... | |
| Technics 1200G phono recommendations Phono stage is for cartridge, not for turntable (the type or brand of turntable is irrelevant for the phono stage). You can use almost any cartridge on Technics tonearm, except for a very low compliance or very high compliance. But even a complian... | |
| Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed! I don’t have GR, but owned 3 samples of the SP-20, one SP-10 mkII and still got a pair of upgraded SL1210mkII since 1995. The platter is spot on, never seen a problem like in your videos on any sample of my Technics turntables. Dealers nowadays ar... | |
| Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed! Ask your dealer to replace your turbtable under warranty. Get another sample from them. | |
| Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed! Not sure how a shipper can damage it, platter is separated from the turntable in the box, well protected in special foam blocks. There is a sticker on each platter that it was tested at the factory. Anyone opened the package before you get it? You... | |
| Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed! Remove the platter and check the spindle, are you sure you have mounted the platter correctly? | |
| Tone Arm for Miyajima Zero You need super high mass tonearm for low compliance MONO cartridge, the best you can find is FR-64s. Unfortunately I already have a mounting hole in my turntable which is 12 inches (305mm) from center of the hole to the center of the spindle Cha... | |
| Tone Arm for Miyajima Zero Fidelity-Research FR-64s with N60 stabilizer (or B-60 base) is the best you can get | |
| Technics 1200 MK2 vs Technics SL-1210GR The Technics turntables are solid mass market disc spinners. But in that price range nice belt drive tables with good/better tonearms can be had and are better audiophile tables. This is BS!At this price ($1700 for new GR) you will not find anythi... | |
| Technics 1200 MK2 vs Technics SL-1210GR It is not exactly what you want to hear but after decades of using upgraded SL1210mk2 my next step was SP-10 mk2 with EPA-100 tonearm and Micro Seiki CU-500 platter mat. The old SL1210mk2 can’t compete with SP-10mk2 / EPA-100. It’s another level. ... | |
| Technics SL1210GAE + Accuphase E-480 (AD-50) + ??? (cartridge) ART-1000 is unique design, not a conventional MC, I already mentionad why, this design was invented by Victor in Japan in the 70’s (called Direct Couple type). AT improved and upgraded this design. Read about it, watch Fremer’s video tour at Audio... | |
| Technics SL1210GAE + Accuphase E-480 (AD-50) + ??? (cartridge) Try ART1000, this is very interesting new design inspired by Victor Direct Couple models. | |
| New Cartridge Time Thanks, I don’t understand. Give me some suggestions for the Rega RB 330 tone arm that would match well in the $750.00 range. Ok, SONY XL-50 with Boron Pipe cantilever and Hyper-Elliptical stylus tip. Excellent MM cartridge if you can find NOS sam... | |
| Help my analog sound as good as my streaming Some people know nothing about high-end Direct Drive turntables and just demonstrate a lack of knowledge in every post about them on this forum. Every lacquer discs master cut on direct drive, constant speed and stable rotation forever - this is w... | |
| Funny how streaming/digital still chases that analog benchmark. @glupson Rare records pressed in 300-500 copies on private labels about 40 years ago, some of them cost now $300 - $1500 each and you will not find them in the shops like those junk pressed in million copies that still cost 50 cents. There are auc... |
