| Technics 1200 GAE, 1200GR or 1200G? @tzh21y I've been a huge proponent for Technics. But you're crazy talking there. Both SME Model 10 and Gyro SE are substantially superior turntables. | |
| Technics 1200 GAE, 1200GR or 1200G? GAE and G are the same, minus a gold plated tag.I currently own the 1200G as well as a Gyro SE with an SME 309 tonearm. So far in my comparison, Michell is a significantly better turntable. But the 1200G is great too. | |
| Good cartridges around 500 usd? 2M Black is my favorite current cartridge as well. At any price. | |

| TT mats Another mat to try is the Funk Firm's Achromat for $100. Its secret material is foamed PVC. Identical stuff that signs are made out of. You can get the 3mm thick sheets at any sign store, or even Lowe's/Home Depot in any color and cut a circle out... | |
| TT mats @bdp24 I would just place a record on top, trace it, then use sharp scissors.The SD series from Percy are all adhesive backed. The strength of that adhesive is practically permanent. If you decide to try it, I recommend doing so without removing t... | |
| TT mats @bdp24 Where are you getting Isodamp pricing? What you’ve posted is a nonsensical price.Isodamp C-1002 Series 0.125" thick, 54" by linear foot is $68. That’s a lot of material. Can be ordered from the authorized distributor direct: https://www.rat... | |
| TT mats @pbnaudio They’ve used Isodamp since inception. That mustard colored material is the Isodamp SD125 mat. Aero Technologies has discontinued the mustard color about a year, or so ago. New SME turntables will have black Isodamp instead. As can be see... | |
| TT mats @pbnaudio Yes, all SME platters come with self adhesive Isodamp SD125 (~3mm thick) mat installed at the factory. They also diamond turn the surface for a nicer finish as well as a better interface with the record. SME orders the mat material direc... | |
| TT mats The best mat I've ever heard is the one SME uses. EAR Isodamp SD125. Michael Percy has the material you can order and cut one out yourself. | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G @tomstruck Technics SL-1200 was never a DJ table. Not the new ones. Not the old ones. Never have, never will. They are turntables built exclusively for audiophiles. Some DJs did use them, but that's their problem.My experience with Clearaudio diff... | |
| I need a headshell recommendation for Technics 1200 GAE @rauliruegas That link is spot on. Easy to follow calculations. Any mass added over the stylus increases the effective mass by the same amount. Detachable headshells are a great way to fine tune the effective mass of the tonearm and cartridge reso... | |
| I need a headshell recommendation for Technics 1200 GAE @martykl and Z is equal to twice the mass... According to chakster's posted equation anyway. | |
| Looking for the best moving coil cart that is around $5K used Either the ART1000, or one of the van den Huls. |
