| Technics 1200g vs Rega rp8, VPI aries, avenger, Basis 2000, Linn LP12 etc. Can it compete? @tzh21y I was in your shoes earlier looking deciding on my retirement table although my short list was down to only two tables, namely the Technics and a VPI Prime. I have the Technics on order currently and hope to have it soon. I made my decis... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G @ericsch on why the replacement head shellI’m opting for the minor upgrade in head shells for yes, azimuth adjustments primarily. I’m not expecting huge gains in sound over the stock head shell, but some have said it was a step up.I also want the ... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G @ericsch I got a chance to hear the Hana SL cart at the last Capital Audio Fest. This is a very musical sounding cart with nothing I could point my finger at as doing wrong and at its price point a strong choice. The room using the Hana was a fu... | |
| Rega RP8 or Technics SL1200G I just ordered the Technics 1200G and it will be my retirement table. I've only owned belt drive tables but I've heard every (I believe) other approach out there and decided DD was the way to go if cogging was under control. This new table seems... | |
| Can cables of any cost and quality provide bass response missing in my B&W speakers? +1 csmgolf. "they can be the icing on the cake for a well sorted out system."If your speakers have bass limitations maybe getting the most out of them still won’t make you happy. I have speakers that have twin 7" bass drivers and they are rated to... | |
| A vote for the little guy suppliers I agree Decware is another great company that you can have a relationship with. I had a Torii Mk IV and a ZMA amp before learning about LTA. Steve is sometimes hard to get on the phone the first try, but they get back to you and he will spend wh... | |
| Tube Phono with Tube Integrated Amp? Tubes of solid state, thats the question....first: tubes are voltage amps, second: solidstate are current amplifiers.Both are good, but the ouput transformers in tube amplfier do have there own characteristics. With other words, there is an influe... | |
| Time for a new tube system. @rothwea, matching speakers with amps is critical and not every pairing works. What speakers did you try with the ZOTL40s? | |
| Cerious Technologies NEW Graphene Cables I'm having Don Sachs build me one of his PH-16 based phono preamps with all the upgrades. Which CT power cord should I order for this, the red or the yellow? | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? @atmosphere - that makes a lot of sense to me also. I knew I liked analog better despite the dreaded artifacts that pro-digital folks like to attack. Pops, clicks, and the lack of icon-driven tablet interfaces won't persuade me to give up analog.... | |
| When and how did you, if at all, realize vinyl is better? I've been listening to records since the late 50s (78s then) and then vinyl once it emerged. I think there are two arguments here, one of sonics, and the other related to hobby interests.As to sonics, I believe the best digital systems today can ... | |
| Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp? Based on lancelock’s mention of LTA’s Black Friday sale together with our years of off-forum communications (we both have the JansZen ESL speakers) I pulled the trigger ahead of schedule and bought my own ZOTL40. Like Lance, I also had a well revi... | |

| New Technics SL 1200 GAE pryso, I agree the looks could have been rethought some. At the very least they could have omitted the pitch control. That would have sent a very clear message - no DJs, and it would have uncluttered the look a bit to show off more of the nicely... | |
| New Technics SL 1200 GAE Regarding my last post, I found and downloaded the user manual. The VTF and VTA are both covered well with dial-adjustments. Azimuth isn't covered but I guess properly mounting the head shell should suffice? |
