TECHNICS 100th Anniversary 2018 Premium Turntables. Their best ever.
@lewm No. TechDas is under $15K.

1200G's aesthetics are iconic. Beautiful platter. Except for the blue LED lights. I really despise non natural lights in electronics. Whoever invented blue LEDs should be permanently cast out from society :)Tonearm is of good quality. Better than ...

Technics on its own, sounds great. Better than most in its price range. But comparing to SME or Michell, 1200G sounds like mud. Both belt driven turntables play music with significantly more conviction, clarity, drive, and rhythm. I have not tried... 
Anyone replace the power cord on 1200G?
@pryso Baerwald is precisely the same as Lofgren A, which was invented several years before, as you’ve posted. Credit should always be given to Lofgren.

@jbhiller Baerwald is not a real alignment. It's called Lofgren A and credit should be given to Lofgren for inventing it.

@audiozen Yup. I'm definitely going for an SME. SME makes the best engineered, built, finished, sounding, and measuring turntables in the world. Followed by TechDas. If I was getting a Technics, it would have to be the SL-1000R with an SME V 12 to...

@audiozen 2M Black is my favorite current cartridge at any price. I really love it that much. I used it on the 1200G and it sounded fantastic. I now use it on a Gyro SE and it's pretty incredible. My next turntable will be either SME Model 10 or M... 
Audio Craft AC-4400 and related AC tonearms
They're unipivot. You want to mess with that? These are the tonearms that Graham fraudulently ripped off. 
Advice Needed on Choosing a Turntable
Michell Gyro SE. You really can’t do better for the price. If you double the budget, then SME Model 10. 
Choosing a new phono cartridge
Ortofon 2M Black because it's amazing!

@tzh21y Did you specify alignment with Mint when ordering? I believe if you don't specify, you'll get Stevenson A as a default.

@ericsch That is all that's required to perfectly set it up to Technics' alignment. But if you want to experiment with other alignments, then you'll need additional protractors. 
Anyone replace the power cord on 1200G?
@tzh21y It's a proprietary Technics  alignment, that just like Stevenson, it favors inner groove distortion. It's actually very close to Stevenson, but not exact.If you prefer the standard Stevenson A, that's perfectly fine. I prefer Lofgren A, or... 
Anyone replace the power cord on 1200G?
@tzh21y You're like a broken record. Who cares about Mint's Stevenson? Technics has a proprietary Japanese alignment. Of course it will not match to the Stevenson A. But why should it? And how is it off or wrong? Technics' gauge will allow you to ...

@jtsnead "Off" indicates that something is wrong with the Technics. Why does it need to match the Feikert and why is it considered off or wrong if it does not match it?
