I don’t see why it can’t be done that way. Why not give SVS a call? I’m sure they will let you know if you can do it without any problems!

Upgrade My Turntable - How Much Do I Need to Spend?
You don’t need to spend 4 grand. My friend has the Technics SL-1200 GR and it is an outstanding table for about 2 grand. It also comes in black ( SL-1210 GR). It is a definite upgrade to the table that you are now using! https://us.technics.com...
