westcoastaudiophile haha, i don't doubt it. I hope I can upgrade to the 1200G at some point. For now, I am totally blown away with the 1210 GR.

@lalitk haha.. I just set it up and played Dire Straits Brothers in Arms original master recording. Boy, I'm simply blown away.  So happy with the sound. Such a good recording. Thanks everyone for all the inputs.. my vinyl journey has just begun.....

Thanks for clarifying @kahlenz.  I'll keep in mind. I'm pretty sure it won't be long before I wanna upgrade the cart. Lol   Thanks @lalitk. I’ll check out the Parasound.   The AT cartridge will arrive today. I bought one that’s already install...

@kahlenz Thanks for taking the time to validate my decision to purchase the 1210 GR. It really means a lot to me. also, the recommendations on Carts.. I am still trying to understand what’s required to run LO vs HO MC carts vs MM carts. My Marant...

Guys, the table arrived yesterday and its simply stunning. Love how it looks and feels. The heft and weight feels solid compared to the Rega (which felt quite light to be honest). I'm not saying it in a negative way, coz I know Rega is all about i...

@pennfootball71 Interesting..  could it have been the acoustics, rest of the chain or something. Coz I really liked how the P6 sounded. Also, what's a budget value for money phono interconnect? Or is the stock cable good enough?

@zazouswing haha, that went right over my ignorant head. I guess I'll stick to the AT cart for now and revisit the Denon and other MC carts a few months down the road.  I hope the AT won't be too disappointing, esp given that I haven't heard that ...

Also, what's the difference between the 103 and 103R? Latter is a $150 bucks more.   
Technics SL 1200 GR
@zazouswing Just realized that I can still return the cartridge (perhaps have them cancel the order if they haven't shipped it yet).  Do you think the Denon 103 will sound considerably better?  Meaning it will do better given I don't have a dedica...

@lalitk Sure, I'll go ahead and get these. I am guessing the tweezer is used used to connect the cartridge to the head shell?  If so, hopefully I won't have to put it to use immediately as the AT 540ML comes with a headshell.  Curious what's the ...

Thanks everyone for taking the time to share your inputs.  I really appreciate it. @zazouswing: after going through yesterday's comments and doing some research, I ended up ordering the AT VM540 ML (with a head shell). It had very good reviews an...
