| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One I am sure that the VPI under discussion here is probably a good piece of gear but for me it’s just weird to be able to change from belt to DD with the same table. I believe the idea of converting the table to a direct drive in the future was pu... | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One Appreciate it! Unfortunately I just put down money for a new rack. But if history has taught as anything, this may not be the last time we see these at this price. | |
| Vinyl playback - lack of bass? I agree with others that your cart may just require more breaking in. I'll also share that I had the same feeling when I switched to a Hana ML going into my Sutherland 20/20. Added in a Bob's Devices Sky 20-S and Boom! Nice full bass was back. N... | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One @kennyc - While I would LOVE to have an HW-40, that’s a little further than I can stretch at this point in my life. Maybe in about 10 years, but I would already be stretching for the tables in discussion. But your point is not lost on me. If I c... | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One Dang, listing ended before I even saw it. At $4k that table does become much more interesting. I wonder if that might be a sign of things to come. | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One The only thing to check in advance is whether there is a convenient way to mount the Hall sensor on the one hand, and the magnet that the sensor senses, on the underside of the VPI platter and the top of the plinth, respectively. It’s no mean fea... | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One Sota/RoadRunner is superior to ADS, if you're serious about VPI. https://sotaturntables.com/products/eclipse-package/ The website is not the greatest, but the RR is what VPI failed to implement for their products. Real time speed correction an... | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One I've had a 1200G for the past 4 or 5 years now and am very happy with, though I am not enamored with its appearance (mine's in silver) and I do wish it looked more like a Pure Fidelity 'table. Have you had any issues or just quirks with it? Cu... | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One That motor cover would have to go, or at least have an “easy to remove” mod if you didn’t get the ADS. Not sure if that’s still the design… I know the motor cover is in place with thumb screws. I did think about that. At SWAF they didn’t have t... | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One Thank you @billstevenson! That’s a fantastic review and I really appreciate you sharing your experience with both brands and tables. Honestly couldn’t have hoped for better input. | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One @alucard19 No offense but I would not put the PLX-1000 in the same category as the 1200G in any way except for looks. There are a number of reasons that table cost a fraction of the price. | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One Seems to me he's made it already. You know, until last weekend I was dead set on the 1200G, and now I'm really questioning it. If I could demo them side by side it would make life much easier, but I realize that's kind of unrealistic unless I w... | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One @tablejockey You are making the 1200G feel like a bit of a goldilocks here. Not to expensive, not too cheap. Holds value. The Japanese stuff always comes back to the Toyota analogy... hmm. | |
| New to Turntables This is an interesting combo of approaches you have here. If you are truly sticking in that lane, I'll toss out this line of thought. - If you start with a nicer table and lesser cart, you can easily upgrade the cart later. But if you start with... | |
| Technics 1200G vs VPI Forever Model One I plan to install my Triplanar on my Technics SA1200G as soon as I can I would love to see that once it’s done. Sounds like a very cool project. |
