Technics SL 1100A & Sl 1210MK2 ToneArm Upgrades


I have both the Technics SL 1100A & Sl 1210MK2 and was wondering what would be the best route to take regarding ToneArm Upgrades? I can spend anywhere from 300 to 500 on each arm with mounting plates , rewire etc .
Thanks in Advance

have you tried checked out the KAB mods and tonearms? kevin at KAB has a real good reputation among technics upgrades and TT's in general and he's often talked about on these forums.
i just picked up a goldring 1022GX cart and he mounted/aligned it onto a technics headshell. met kevin when i went to pick it up...nice guy and not shy to give you as much info as you desire. i'll be getting some mods on my 1200 in a couple months.

Ditto what Agypsy said. Have Kevin rewire the arms for you and get his fluid damper for the 1210MK2 - you'll be hard pressed to beat it with a good interconnect. I've run Jelco and Rega arms on the 1200 before but ultimately came back to the KAB mod'd stock arm.

The 1100A is another matter - what arm is on it? Is it the EPA-110?
I have an SL1210 M5G (better tonearm wire to start) with the KAB fluid damper and an LPGear Zupreme (probably Jelco sourced) headshell. That improved it quite a bit, but the finishing touch was wrapping the tonearm in some teflon pipe thread tape. Eliminated the upper midrange glare and relaxed the whole sound.
hmmm...never heard of the teflon wrapping technique. does that really work? do you have any pics?
