Many thanks for taking the time to reply Mike - I hope you are feeling better.

Does the cog design you have implemented improve the rotational accuracy of your platter over the stock platter then?...

Can someone tell me what the small black metal cog is for on the underside on the stock Technics platter? Is it something to do with the speed sensor?

Also what is the purpose of the thin piece of...

Fair enough. No I don't have a B7 at this point.

No offence taken here :thumbsup:

Principally because they are significantly easier to design and engineer. Pretty much any one can buy a motor, and design a half decent spindle/bearing and a nice heavy platter, and stick a rubber...

Great thread Justin, a very interesting read - its a little tricky (for people like me who are a little new to tubes anyway) to keep up with all the tubes you've tested and how you rank them, and...

Thanks guys - I'll go nude on the labels if necessary, but I'll try and get some lettering if I can.

Yeah I saw those, and some metallic little placks, but I really didn't want to go down that route as I think sticking something on will let the final finish down - I really just wanted to get the...

Thanks for chipping in guys! :thumbsup:

One question that I still haven't been able to find an answer for; where can you go to get the lettering put back on your Technics deck after is been...

Thanks for your input Rush. To answer your questions:

a) I already owned this Technics before I knew it could be modded. It is essentially my first ever deck, and so has a certain amount of...

Yeah, I had realised that Andy, I was meaning more the other way, with the Cadenza on your Garrard - or just a general comparison of the sonic signature of the two carts?

Thanks Andy - its not ranting at all, very useful feedback! I hadn't read that the Windfeld leaned to the warm side of the spectrum, so that is exactly the kind of thing I wanted to know.

I can't...

Thanks Andy, but yes, we've already covered that off earlier in the thread ;)

Thanks Andy

Thanks Mike. I'm not looking to change anything else in the chain as yet, though I may look to see if I can improve on the ML phono stage at some point in the future.

Interesting you mention the...

Not very Mike - but if you remember from my OP, I have saved and budgeted originally for a Brinkmann Oasis or similar, so even with the purchase of the 1210 and all the mods, I am still well under my...

Oh, absolutely, I actually decided to go with the Ortofon tonearm partly because I had already decided to go with an Ortofon cart.

I'm now just not sure which cart. Do I just play safe with a...

Thanks Mike, I will. Is a tonearm re-wire a worthwhile addition to this arm?

I also need to think about head shells - I've read that the Audio-Technica AT-LHxx series are one of the better ones?

I decided to push the boat out a little and I've gone for the Ortofon RS-212D!

Hi Mike,

Sorry to hear of your hospital stint, I didn't realise you were ill when I e-mailed. Glad to hear its not the big 'C' though, I'm currently going through that with my Dad, and its not...

Thanks Floyd :thumbsup:

Thanks Neil :thumbsup:

:lol: Nothing a well made pair of beer goggles can't fix!

No, I don't think I'll go to that bother! ;)

Any comments on those two tonearm options then? Anyone compared them at any point?

Thanks Mike, yeah, that's the one I have been looking at - it comes up on E-bay UK also. I think its going to be between that and this SME:
