| Talk but not walk? folks are talking theory and there is absolutely no doubt to any of us who have actually done the testing needed, that the guy talking has never done the actual empirical testing themselves.Michael GreenI just read this whole thread, but have fail... | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G I got that part of why SL1200 was embraced by DJs. In fact, I mentioned something along those lines in another recent thread about it.More of a question would be what qualifies a turntable as an "audiophile". If it is speed stability, that should ... | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G I am not arguing about which sounds better, I have no clue about it, but was just referring to that sentence about the torque. It was probably written quickly so it ended up clumsy, but the fact is that Vestax has a higher torque and beats Technic... | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G Companies like Vestax released higher torque dj turntables, but no one can beat Technics as this is the original product with legendary status that all of them trying to copy. I am not trying to start any fire and have never even heard of Vestax, ... | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G roberjerman,I think that both of these turntables have their place in the market. I have no experience with new SL 1200 (GR, G, GAE), but, from what I hear, they are impeccably put together. I have experience with Pioneer, a friend of mine has it ... | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G I have no idea how close Pioneer is to genuine SL 1200. I do not know which one would be genuine in the first place. There have been many SL 1200 models by now. There are even a few current ones, ranging from $1700 to more than double of that. I w... | |
| Technics 1200 Critic Fremer Praises the newer 1200G Is Pioneer really any more of a clone of an old Technics than a new Technics is?Just because it has a Technics sticker on it does not mean it is a direct descendant of something from the past. I wonder how many engineers that invented the original... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? ghosthouse,I guess you and I are in the same boat except that your turntable is even older than mine.However, it seems to me that, as time passed by, "barrier to entry" has gotten to be much higher than it should. The word remained the same, but t... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? ghosthouse,you made me run to Google to look up your acronym.I agree with assessment but original poster's question remains only partially answered. If it has a complete answer at all.In my mind, think young teenager in early 1980s, SL 1200 still ... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? stevecham,thanks for your post. It is nice to see that someone has had more references than most of us have and can look at it as objectively as it comes. I suspected that what you wrote about the Technics 1200 was just that way, but the list of t... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? What makes a turntable "audiophile" and what makes it "hi-fi"? Is there any tangible, or maybe measurable, thing we should be looking/listening for? Some specification, feature, etc. I am not trying to argue, but the question came to me after read... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? oldschool1948,The only thing I should change in your post to make it my post is turn Technics SL 1600 MK II into Technics SL Q2. I know that nobody would consider it an "audiophile" turntable but is, as you say, "audiophile" enough for me and has ... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? bdp24,I suspected that holes on Audiomod arm were there for some purpose, but I have no real technical knowledge to even start speculating what the purpose could be. Before, I took it for granted that holes are there to make something better. Now,... | |
| Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile? I am not trying to take sides here (although I do have a Technics DD that is not even 1200), but is the jitter that theoretically or maybe even practically exist in these Technics turntables really that much worse than a stretching belt or some ot... | |
| How loud is too loud erik_squires,I was curious so I just looked at the owner's manual for Yamaha 301/501/701 on their website to see what they say about it. From your previous post, I got the idea that, after setting volume somewhere relatively high, engaging "loudne... |
