How much am I missing with SL1200 mk2? Guys,Again, a lot of great info, thanks. Unfortunately, I don't have a background in electronics and am unable to maintain/repair vintage gear. If the 1200 weren't so hardy I would not have it. At one time, I traded in and out of a fair amount of ... | |
How much am I missing with SL1200 mk2? Hi, the phono stage is in my Anthem integrated. But I see your point. The answer is yes, I can change the phono stage by adding one between the Technics and the Anthem via Aux input.I do like the simplicity of my system. When I've had more complex... | |
How much am I missing with SL1200 mk2? If I can continue to gain performance from the 1200 by spending a few hundred dollars, I'll be happy. I have some of the items on order now, and will contact KAB in the future. With my associated gear it appears keeping the 1200 is the way to go, ... | |
How much am I missing with SL1200 mk2? Thanks guys,All great advice! Can't thank you all enough. For the most part, I enjoy the SL1200. It sounds dynamic and exciting to me, and soundstage seems solid and the speakers disappear. I'm sure the saying applies, "you don't know what you don... | |
How much am I missing with SL1200 mk2? Chayro, I've heard good things about the Denon. However, my built in phono stage is suited best for MM or high output- ruling the 103 out. Correct me if I'm wrong.When I upgraded from NOS Shure I noticed a pretty big difference, so I'm not opposed... | |
How much am I missing with SL1200 mk2? Thanks guys, I guess the only way to know is to try it out. The closest brick and mortar dealer is probably 200-300 miles. It may be worth a shot to demo one via an Internet dealer if agree to pay frt, etc. I was curious what others had to say to ... | |
How much am I missing with SL1200 mk2? Thanks, that's good news. I've been a drummer for years, my ears aren't golden. If the difference is minimal I'm not sure I'd notice.Regards | |

Magnet Wire Question Hi,Good question. I can buy 120' of 14ga magnet wire for around $20. I thought it would be a relatively cheap way to try out the concept in more than one setup. Maybe I can use it in my bedroom long term if nothing else.Thanks,Gary | |
Magnet Wire Question Al,Thanks for the info. Way over my head, but I get the idea.I'll go with 16ga and make a jumper with a length of the same wire.Looking forward to giving it a whirl-Kind regards,Gary | |
Magnet Wire Question Rax, thanks, they are enamel coated, thankfully. I read about spacing runs in a thread- may have bi wiring based comment. Al, the speakers are Usher CP6311. (87 sens and a nominal 8 ohm load)If thicker gauge would be better, I'll buy it. What gaug... | |
Anthem Integrated 225 -opinions Hi, maybe too late but I own the Anthem 225i. I find it sounds great with plenty of power. I'm not an expert with tubes vs ss, but it gives me everything I want. I went from a tubed preamp and ss amp, and the Anthem is plenty transparent to my ear... |
