Anyone replace the power cord on 1200G?

@tzh21y  Curious, why did you replace the Technics mat so soon? Are you hearing a difference with the Boston Mat?

I need a headshell recommendation for Technics 1200 GAE
@rauliruegas or anyone else, at the risk of beating a dead horse, I want to make sure I understand this.My SL1200-G has a tonearm with an effective mass of 12 gr. The headshell is 7.6 gr. If I remove the stock headshell and replace it with one tha... 
Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G
@tzh21y  I was wondering about that. In his review, Fremer said he used Baerwald, but from what I've been reading online, Stevenson seems to be the consensus. My understanding is that to achieve Baerwald the cartridge needs to be offset in the hea...

Standout track on an album
Check out "Side of the Road" from her 1988 self titled album. Great lyrics, she is an under rated song writer. I love Lucinda, seen her in concert twice. Her last two albums are a little dark.

@jsm71 Congratulations on getting your new TT and thanks for your comments. Your cartridge choices are awesome. For my budget, I will probably start with a Hana SL. I  also have the Exact 2 on my current table with very low hours. Although I've be...
