| I need a headshell recommendation for Technics 1200 GAE @martykl Incorrect. Adding mass at the headshell will also increase the center of counter weight to pivot distance. In addition, you’re also using the equation wrong for the calculation you’ve made.I honestly don’t understand what the confusion is... | |
| Decca London Reference- SME V, FR 64s or FR 64 fx? SME V is a great choice. | |
| I need a headshell recommendation for Technics 1200 GAE @chakster I understand what effective mass is and the required calculations. What I wrote earlier is correct. | |
| I need a headshell recommendation for Technics 1200 GAE @chakster Yes absolutely you can change effective mass by adding mass to the tonearm, especially at the headshell. It's just very difficult to calculate exactly what the new effective mass will be.But the exact number really doesn't matter. Exampl... | |
| I need a headshell recommendation for Technics 1200 GAE Something to keep in mind... The original SL-1200GAE headshell including wire leads is approximately 7.6 grams. Most of the headshells being recommended here are 12-16 grams without wire leads and without mounting screws. Which can add an addition... | |
| I need a headshell recommendation for Technics 1200 GAE Audio Technica, Jelco, Ortofon... All are great. But so is the stock Technics headshell. If you want something light, get magnesium. | |
| New Technics SL1200G turntable @tzh21y Technics' headshell is aluminum, not plastic. | |
| New Technics SL1200G turntable @rauliruegas I'm pretty sure Fremer prefers SAT. In my opinion SAT is a garage product sold for an absolutely insulting price. If I have to buy a current production cost no object tonearm, it will be the SME V. | |
| review iPhono 2 I'm not sure how Fremer or anyone else can recommend the iPhono2, or any iFi products. In one of his blind tests, I blindly ranked the iPhono as one of the worst of the group. Bright, lean, poor transistor radio type of sound. Raul has it right, t... | |
| MC Cartridge Recommendations for refurbished/upgraded Linn LP12 w/ Ittok arm If preamp can handle anything, I recommend 2M Black. If it must be MC, then ART9. I've heard LP12 with both and LP12 is all about synergy. | |
| New Technics SL1200G turntable @rauliruegas, all of those separate pieces don't really matter in this case. It's the overall picture. A $4000 Technics smokes a $200K boutique product. But I'm not really surprised. | |
| New Technics SL1200G turntable @avanti1960, the video and sound are not switched in the first video. As was stated numerous times by Fremer.You preferring the sound when Technics is playing means you prefer the sound of Technics. Fremer initially joked that the sound could be s... | |
| New Technics SL1200G turntable Technics must have paid him a fortune. His videos, two of them no less, are the biggest Technics endorsement I have ever seen. In both videos, SL-1200G destroys a $200K+ setup. What else could Technics ever ask for? | |
| Can anyone listen to side 1 of Tchaikovsky "1812 Overture"? Try a gimbal tonearm. | |
| Cartridge for my Rega RP6 I also favor MM cartridges as they sound more like tape IMO. Chakster has very good recommendations for vintage cartridges. If you want to get current production, my favorite is the 2M Black by a wide margin. It can compete with just about any vin... |
