Well, I caved in.
After missing out on allthisanalogue's sale of his 1200G, I put a deposit down on a new one. Going to be a couple of months' wait though until I get my grubby hands on it.
Like my recent acquisition of Harbeth speakers and a big Rotel, I see it as a fit-and-forget solution, possibly my last, and certainly will be with me for a very long time.
It broke my heart to sell it but after buying a Linn Uphorik and maxing out my credit card, let’s just say I was desperate for funds!Quote:

So, one of the end results of losing a turntable and master recorder (almost 4 months ago) to a plumbing issue (and having a current and up to date home owners insurance) is that I now have a Technics SL-1200G sitting in a box. Sadly, I've no time to even consider setting it up within the next couple of weeks. :(
Quite excited about the "sound" of the magnesium tonearm. I had considered an SME for one of my other 1200's for that reason as well as the ability to install and balance an SPU integrated head shell cartridge. It appears Technics has solved both of those issues while keeping the genius helical VTA. In the near future I should be able to do a direct comparison between my modded 1200 (Mike New Audio bearing, Trans-Fi T3 Pro Terminator tonearm, etc.) and this new stock 1200G.
I can say this... ...the turntable double-boxed... is heavy! Not Goldmund or TechDAS level heavy but nevertheless noticeable.
[I did have to argue my case with the insurance company. If you ever find yourself in such a position be ready to file an appeal. Initially the amount they quoted to "make me whole" was quite literally, laughable. It was no where near enough to replace what was lost. It took two adjusters to finally get them to honor the policy. Ironically, they were ready to give me 4K for a Tascam DA-6400 because both the Tascam DV-RA1000HD (that I lost) and it's replacement, the Tascam DA-3000 are both discontinued. We agreed to settle on me finding a used (like new condition) DV-RA1000HD.]
Have you got it up and running yet?
Yes, my good fellow.Quote:

Very much looking forward to spending some quality time with it this weekend. I've only played one side of an LP so far... ...already impressed, very impressed.
