You never made clear: old SL1200 or new SL1200?  The new model may be another option for you, if you want to upgrade.  Although Technics made them to look the same and gave them the same name, the new SL1200 should sound noticeably superior to the... 
Periodic noise
My wife signed us up for Verizon Fios.  At one point, the Fios was going down with regularity, until I finally investigated our circuit breaker box, where they had installed an AC outlet to power their system, which is a simple plug-in.  It was ea... 
David Berning preamp..looking for suggestions
Palasr, Thank you for the correction regarding the EA230.  I was just guessing at the model name, when I told the story about the Berning amplifier that produced the clicking noise on the speakers, when it was too close to the Modulus preamplifier...

For me, it may be no coincidence that the MC cartridges I like most have tended to be those with high-ish compliance, compared to their brethren.

Maybe because I have to be concerned with exact calculations and minutiae of other kinds in my work life, I tend to be lazy about facing exactitude in my hobbies.  Seems to me that no matter what anyone can do, no matter how great a genius or how ...

Lancelock,The unique experience with the Berning design is probably because DB himself is just smarter than anyone else in the industry.  Quiet and modest, as well. (I have met him a few times in my life, but I have none of his gear currently, and...

One approach to figuring this out would be first to determine whether the noise is getting into your system via the AC line or via the air.  If you have or can borrow an AC regenerator or some sort of very good AC filter, see if that makes any dif...

Pani, I am surprised you felt compelled to go to solid state amplification to drive your Tannoys; I usually think of Tannoy speakers as being high impedance and high efficiency, thus well suited to even flea power SETs.  In fact, one of your respo... 
Do you clean your records before play, after play, or once (and then never again)?
Once.But I have a backlog of unwashed LPs, and if I want to hear one of those, I will play it regardless, if I can see no visual evidence of deposits on the surface.

Apparently, one not only has to see, but to see only with your eyes.

Tim, Same goes for the two samples that I have owned.  (Or do you in fact own my Mk2A?  I've forgotten.)

Dear Raul, I have to laugh every time I read one of your posts that cordially begins with "Dear" so-and-so and cordially ends with "Regards and enjoy the music", yet in between the salutations, we find only vitriol.  It would be OK to agree that w...

Dear Raul,  According to every treatise I have ever read about the Tiptoes, the originals made of solid aluminum, they were not intended to be anti-resonance devices.  They were/are meant to drain energy, but in one direction only.  In other words...
