| New Technics SL1200G turntable @atmosphere, if the stock mat stands in the way of the best sound, what do you recommend? I tried my Herbies mat, which really helped a prior table with all acrylic platter, but it sounded worse than the stock mat on the 1200G. | |
| technics 1200g tonearm question headshell angled not parallel to lp I liked the two comments I read above, level the table as the very first thing you do, and never judge azimuth from the arm rest position.Azimuth should only be reviewed with the cart lowered onto the LP. This is dopey simple but I balance a plas... | |
| technics 1200g tonearm question headshell angled not parallel to lp Did you try the stock shell to see if it appears parallel when inserted? That may be the only way to judge if the arm is off. This is a tough one to comment on otherwise because I haven't used your head shell. I assume the Ortofon shell has a f... | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables @ozzy Thanks for the idea of using copper pipe Styrofoam insulation for cable lifts. Have you tried this, or just read about it elsewhere?I love going cheap when it makes sense. It seems to me that a 6' piece can be cut as needed and would effec... | |
| Morrow IC's I've had a few Morrow cables in my rig for a few years and I purchased (using their deal of the day) a new PH5 phono cable arriving today to serve a new turntable. I like these cables for phono and interconnect usage especially in my rack where f... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G @ericsch The SL-1200G requires gymnastics to get the output cable and power cord inserted on the underside of the table. Once there they aren't easily bumped out, but garden hose cables that can't bend easily may be a non-starter for this table.I... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G @avanti1960 Don't leave us hanging. This thread is about a choice between two tables. What have you learned? | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables Since I just put the new cables into my system last week I feel compelled to leave them alone and experience the full break in ride. If I do something now I won’t know if lifts independently improve the sound as the cables seem to be changing (for... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G @ericsch I have a Morrow PH5 on order. I was hoping to have it when the table arrived but no. I'm just using the stock RCA cable for now. I have other Morrow cables in the front end of my rig so I'm expecting another improvement once that gets ... | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables Given the girth of these new SCs and the fact I have no other option I've got them laying on the (carpeted, basement) floor. Who is using cable elevators and does it make a difference with these Matrix cables? | |
| NEW Cerious Technologies Upgrade - Graphene Matrix Cables I received my Matrix speaker cables yesterday and yes, the Graphene Extreme cables are going back in trade, which I liked a lot. Like a few have said, these are absolutely good right out of the box. There is a quality to the sound that is differ... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G @tzh21y, the table is exactly what I was hoping for and expecting. All the platitudes from other users are validated. This was a large jump up for me in tables and is my last. I retire in July. The biggest improvements are simply providing gra... | |
| Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range Aiming at a price range only reveals your budget and ability to spend. As others have already said you need to indicate:- What sound levels do you intend to listen at?- Do you need chest pounding bass or prefer balanced correct presentation?- ... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G My new 1200G arrives tomorrow. Quick poll here, are you current 1200GAE or G users employing a spindle weight or forgoing one? I've used one in the past but most online pictures I've seen don't show one in use. Maybe one isn't needed for this t... | |
| What's on your audio wish list for 2018? I'm retiring mid this year so I'm putting in the final touches. I've finished room treatments with a half dozen Vicoustic DC2 diffusors on the listening wall between the speakers. The big finish is a Technics 1200G (last table) which is shipping... |
