SL1200GAE New Tonearm

I am quite sure the Technics tonearm is good. I have listened to the stock 1200G more than a few times. 

I was the first to post on this Forum about the Technics TT and about replacing the stock arm.

 I have now done so and am Happy that I did. As Ralph states; I had the TT sent to him. He did nothing to promote the mod to me.

Final Thought; The Technics and probably anyone of the great arms out there Will be Game Changers.

 I have spoken to Bill Voss; Technics is listening. They are moving forward in the High End.

Keep your mind, eyes and ears open. More to come.

I wish All here would show their conviction in their opinions and do take their own advice.

 I chased the Technics mod since Axpona 2016 when I was the Only one in the room. In minutes, I heard what the Technics could do. I looked it over, talked to the rep. I Knew that I wanted this TT; no matter the look ___ I heard SPEED control, no doubting it and what it conferred to the MUSIC. I knew from 30yrs chasing the High End grail and 45yrs chasing the grail -(15) as a poor ‘phile.

R, I chased this and researched this for 2 years. Do l want to go through all your tweaks? Multiple tonearm  re-wires, multiple headshells, you forgot the “Constant Contact” and all the critical listening. Don’t worry about My money, I will because it is mine.

 I did not buy this rig for looks; although I do like it. Fine Industrial.

SQ,  Plain and simple. A new High End TT at a Bargain price and a true Value in need of great tonearm. IMO 

Waste time and $$$ on tweaks and then buying the the real thing when you realize you could be enjoying?

Not me, I always ask for more.

jtsnead,

This Forum might be my only way to communicate today. Computer is totally down and phone is having issues too.  

I did send you photos and tried email too. I don’t know if you received??

Jerry,

Congratulations !!  I know it sounds great !!   Looks good too !!

Who did the mod ? The armboard ? Have you tried different mats yet? How about record weights ? Did you use it stock for awhile and run the motor in ?

I believe that you are the 5th person to mod the Technics w/ Triplanar. I know Ralph has done 4 mods including mine.
