Cartridge for Technics SL-1200G or SL-1200GR
I was thinking of using an Ortofon 2M Black Plug-and-Play MM cartridge with the G.  Anyone with experience with that combination?

I have the 2TB Innous Zenith MK2.  It’s a great CD ripper; easy to setup and use; I control it using my iPad Pro or laptop.  Tidal masters and DSD music sounds fantastic.  You can rip to WAV or FLAC, I prefer FLAC.  Instead of Roon, I use its Logi...

sleepwalker65:With a virtually identical tonearm to the SL-1200G, there are very few improvements to be found in the SL-1200G over the SL-1600mk2. I've been using the SL-1600mk2 with my rec room systems for a very long time.  Back in the day I h...

After much thought, I’m going with the G.  I’ll start with my Ortofon Blue.  I’ve never used an MC cart, but plan to buy one.  I want to thank everyone for the advice and recommendations.

I know the price difference.  I’m retiring and setting up my first and last listening room.  I just bought an Innous Zenith MK2 CD ripper/media streamer, which replaced my Mc MCD7008 CDP and Squeezebox Duet.  The Zenith is really nice.  My analog ...

Back in the day, I bought the 1600 because it was totally automatic.  I kinda dread having to manually pickup the tone arm, but if I go the 1200 route, I'll have to get accustomed to it :-)

sleepwalkder65It might just need a little TLC (clean/lube the spindle, rewire the tonearm with litz tonearm wire, treat it to a new mid/high compliance cartridge, new interconnects and maybe the KAB fluid damper). I had it serviced about two ye...

mdelrossi1, I have a Teac X10-R that will use the RCA input, thus the need for a phono pre.  I still love the sweet sound of those old reels!Both the Black Cube and Gold Note look very promising (and flexible).  Thanks for the recommendations.

Just wanted to introduce myself.
I've had a Teac X-10R since about 1982.  With it, I use a dbx 224 to remove tape hiss and dbx 3bx range expander.  Back in the day, I'd spend hours and sometimes days mixing a 10" reel, or simply recording some of my favorite albums.  I don't have...

How do you store and catalog your vinyl?
I've separated my albums and CDs into two broad categories, Jazz/Blues and then everything else (Soul, R&B, and soft Rock). I sort them by the first letter of the artist or group name.   I have about 1,200 albums - some of which I don't list...
