Modding a SL1210 project
@ Nick_sr. Poor customer service. My experience. You might have good luck with them, I dunno. Just a friendly warning. 
Any Alice Cooper fans?
That's funny...Alice working at a nursery. When you consider he did the song "Dead Babies."

go with kab for all Technics parts, stay away from lp gear. 
Solid state amp around 2000-2500 used or new
You can't beat Class A! 
Differences between Accuphase C-2820 and C-3800?
Wow, Paul you really know your Accuphase. As for me, I'm moving on, it's just too expensive here in the US, and the resale is poor. Thanks again for all of your help over the last year or so.

Pass Labs at that price is a damn good value.

And the sound of most of the AC albums is good to excellent. Some of the top mastering engineers in the biz mastered those albums. I'm speaking about the LPs. On CD, Alice varies quite a bit. I'm listening to the 'Muscle of Love' album (LP) right ... 
Speakers for onkyo A-9555 integrated, advice pls?
My choice for under 1k speakers are the JBL L890s. You can get these for $800 all day long. The Onkyo is on the "warm" side, the highs are a bit rolled off, and the JBLs can be considered a bit bright. So, imo, it would be a good match.

@Ozzy: Pretty cool. That should sound great.

@Rockadanny. Very cool. I thought so! I've been into rock music for 30 years. Not as long as you, but long enough! 
B&W 801N and Bryston match
Cool, thanks for the report. 
SL1200 upgrade tonearm or replace cartridge?
Ok, is all of this really necessary? I run my SL1210M5G bone stock, and I'm very happy with it. It sounds superb to me. That's my take. 
PreAmp recomendation please...
Oh ok, well I would like to see what it looks like and what features it has...

Cool, I've been looking at Pass Labs for some time now. It is very good sound and the price isn't bad compared to other high end companies. I'm particularly looking at the Class A models. Which models of Pass Labs amp and preamp do you recommend? 
B&W 801N and Bryston match
@ Chadeffect" Yeah, that's been the complaint about Bryston for years now. I'm not saying you're wrong, however. I will say that Bryston is more on the analytical side of things, but I don't mind that too much. Depending on the recording, I actual...
