| Technics SL-1700 feet Isonoe are not designed for any Technics model, only the SL-1200mk2, which is vastly different and inferior to the spring suspended SL-1700 and SL-1700mk2. | |
| Technics SL-1700 feet Looking at photos 11&12 on pic click https://picclick.com/Technics-SL-1700-Turntable-Plinth-Genuine-item-Cabinet-392013998923.html#&gid=1&pid=11the suspension is the same design in principle. Drilling and tapping the holes for the old ... | |
| Technics SL-1700 feet The spring suspension on the SL-1700 is excellent. The mounting should be to the plinth via aluminum brackets if it’s like the SL-1700mk2 which then suspends the TNRC floating base that carries the spindle and tonearm. Since the spring suspension ... | |

| Technics SL-1700 feet That’s for SL-1200mk2+ turntables. The SL-1700mk2 (and 1600mk2 and 1800mk2) have a proper spring suspension of the TNRC platform supporting the spindle and tonearm while the 1200 has a solid hunk of rubber. That’s also why the 1200 feet are better... | |
| Technics SL-1700 feet @john421, are you looking for feet for a SL-1700 or SL-1700mk2?My first SL-1700mk2 was a rescue case, nearly destroyed by a rap-“DJ”. He took the feet off of it and lost them. Not being able to locate the exact replacement feet, and not very impr... | |

| What is your experience with the law of diminishing returns ? Law of diminishing returns is a real measure of value. You cannot get value in the remainder. If you don’t care about money, go ahead and spend $500,000 or hit that glass ceiling. The rest of us are laughing all the way to the bank. | |
| Cd's to make a come back in the future? There’s much to be said for a good cassette deck. I’ve been extremely happy with my Sony TCK-570 3 head deck and my Technics RS-M234X with dbx. Naturally that is a medium that very few would allow themselves to enjoy today. | |
| Cd's to make a come back in the future? Physical media as a mainstream commodity was killed by streaming and downloads. CD has few redeeming qualities anyhow. | |
| Anyone use a cartridge demagnetizer? Reality check here: phono cartridges don’t use ferrous wire in their coils. No, repeat, no chance of them becoming magnetized. | |
| Want to get into Analog The Technics SL-1200mk2 is a risky proposition. Most of them have been thrashed by rap-“DJ”s and will need all moving parts replaced. As OldSchool said, a fully automatic SL-1600mk2 is an vastly superior turntable, but very rare as are its SL-1700... | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @tomcy6 sleepwalker, reality check:https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/vinyl-what-if Tomy the only person needing to do a reality check is you. | |
| CD Got Absolutely Crushed By Vinyl @rauliruegas But at the end we are talking of digital against LP/analog alternatives. Remember too that today CDP comes with 32/384 DACs or at least 24/192 and this is a characteristic that makes everything different when you listen to any CD. CD ... | |
| Audio Technica VM540ML v. N97xe Jico SAS Micro line styli have signicantly better wear characteristics than Shibata and elliptical, let alone conical profiles. About 2:1 compared to Shibata and 3:1 compared to elliptical. Price (value) is not unimportant to most of us. A $300 cartridge i... |
