| Recommendation for Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G? I’ve seen I’ve seen a few recommendations for the Ortofon Cadenza Bronze on the 1200gthis givesm 22.7g compliance 12cu and thus 9.6Hz resonant frequency, the best I have calculated so far. | |
| Recommendation for Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G? Dhjohnson if you are getting 8hz via the calculator then I’m afraid you are using the wrong compliance measurement. The 18 figure quoted in the specs is at 100hz. To get this to 10hz you need to multiply by 1.7 giving 30.6cu and a resonant frequen... | |
| Recommendation for Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G? To calculate what is best there are two resources I have been using. First the Ortofon guide and chart here...https://www.ortofon.com/support/support-hifi/resonance-frequencyThe shows that resonant frequency should be between 7-12Hz is best idea b... | |
| Recommendation for Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G? Michael Fremer said of the 1200G...In case you were wondering if the arm was tailored for high compliance moving magnet cartridges, I can tell you that I used, among other cartridges, the Lyra Etna SL and when I measured the horizontal and vertica... | |
| Recommendation for Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G? I’m surprise that people are recommending the AT Art9 as it is a high compliance cartridge and when fitted to the Technics arm will give a resonant frequency of 6hz which is too low? Technics arm effective mass 12g Art9 weight 8.5gCompliance 18x1.... | |

| Beware of SACD Transports -- they probably will not work with your favorite DAC In general SACD players do not allow digital output as a DSD bitstream, they only allow 16/44 through Coax on back.There are a small number of exceptions with proprietary interfaces.The Sony SCD xA9000ES has a FireWire link, Sony branded as ‘I-Lin... | |
| Love to hear from current owners or past users of Isoacoustics Gaia footers. I have the Gaia2 on Martin Logan CLX Art. They were very difficult to fit as thread wasn’t long enough. However now they are on , just - I’m pleased with improved sound. Previously used spikes sitting on granite bases.Improvements were subtle but ... | |
| Technics 1200G Tweaks I’ve had a 1200 for a year now, this is what I have found.Achromat, I can’t find a flat one, one I had on the deck and stuck down for a year but it warped, tried heavy glass and water filled bucket on it for weeks, made no difference. I’ve reverte... | |
| Cartridge for stock Technics 1200G tonearm I have the KAB tonearm damper on my 1200g, I did a quick AB test, before and after I added the oil. Improved three dimensionality of sound, tighter base. Installs in minutes, beautifully made, looks like part of stock arm - delighted with it. |
