Yes.

And you need a plinth and an arm...

But it’s also arguably the best turntable ever made. So cheap as chips in the grand scheme of things. They are getting more expensive lately, which is...

All those connections look good. How is the bridge connected to the caps?

I'm not saying it's not worthwhile. I am saying that in my experience, it's not worth the bother as whatever arm you want to use will be put to significantly better effect on a SP-10.

30v AC rectified will give you 40v DC before the filter bank. The bleeder won't make any difference. What value did you use for the filter resistors? And please post some well-lit, in-focus photos of...

The advantage in moving the PSU is because the previously internally mounted transformer is now removed and away from the rest of the table. It's also beneficial to have no mains AC in the table. Is...

As Ken says, there is no change in functionality to the table controls other than the on/off switch. The pitch slider works, the pitch LED works, the the strobe works, etc... The table merely sounds...

Bikram,

I also think the Acromat is wonderful, I wholeheartedly recommend it.

Check your PM, I have a shopping list for you.

I've used this before, I think ergonomically it's close to perfect;

Of course it's effecting the sound quality - the entire point of a turntable is to spin the record so the physical grooves can vibrate the needle. Any spurious vibration also vibrates the needle and...

If you are looking for a donor motor/platter, it would be safe generalization to say that any of the quartz DD technics will have similar performance.

What tables are available locally (boot sale...

Looking wonderful! Keep the photos and updates coming!

I suspect the motor will be $12,000 and the Motor/plinth/arm about $20,000.

An interesting link to measurements of various Technics DD tables, starting at #329...

I used the cotton when doing a re-wire of the stock arm, it worked beautifully, no complaints at all!

Here's a page with some measurements - http://fidelisanalog.com/fablog/

I know a few people (designers in the industry) who are of the opinion that the early-80s Technics cartridges may be the...

Yes, absolutely!

There's nothing at all wrong with the stock transformer, the issue is that it's mounted IN the turntable... Mounting it outboard and moving some of the noisier electrical bits to...

I'm quite interested! It seems to be a well thought out mod and I'd love to try it. :D :D :D

Modding my -1200 is about 5th on my current list of projects, I've got the Pass Sony Vfet guide to...

I restored a PL-71, a wonderful turntable. :) Thread here -- http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/analogue-source/266390-restoration-modification-pioneer-pl-71-turntable.html

I think there's an equally sized load of goop on the other side, to make it all work out.

That said, the -1200 never had a balanced platter, that was reserved for the SP's. Also, the Techincs...

I like it!

:D :D :D

Feet make a surprising difference, even resting the stock feet on something as simple as Vibrapods is quite eye-opening. I'm not sure if this is more that the stock feet suck or if others are just...

There are very large differences between the DL110 and DL103, the 103 needs a higher mass arm, much more gain in the phonostage, and a very different loading than the 110.

Neither will sound...

No insult taken. :)

I'm actually quite happy to see a real measurement taken, the beauty being that once the value is known, it's pretty safe to assume that most of the transformers over the...

There's no question that the .22uF on the secondary is non-optimal. That said, it's better than nothing... :)

I love the work you are doing on this! Well done!

I doubt that there is much more you can do to your Techie to get better sound.

At this point I'd look into Phonostage. Remember that the electronics touching transducers have an outsized effect...

That all sounds really neat! I'd love to see some photos and schematics if you have any. :)
