It's a Decca Gold about one and a half years old.

Guess I have to swap tonearms and check it out.

The 120 has an old London Acoustics Tonearm which is similar to the Jelco SA-750D. It was rewired with cables from the headshell to the plugs. The 110 has a 12" Jelco 750L tonearm.

Well, the SL-120 has the MJL-9A motor and the SL-110 the MJL-12A one. Electronics between those two decks are different.

Of course I'm not 100% certain, but that's what I found on the internet.

SL-1200 MKI = MJL-9A
SL-110 = MJL-9A or MJL-12A

My London Decca hums on my Technics SL-110. It get's worse when the arm moves nearer to the spindle. It's not audible when a record gets played but it is not really something you want in your set up....

Yes, I've read about that. It didn't effect my listening experience, at least I didn't hear any hum during playback.

Hello,

last week my London Decca Super Gold arrived. Yes, I'm fascinated by the sound. Coming from an MC I instantly noticed how loud it is. I had to turn back the volume immediately. After the...

Hope you enjoy your Jelco. I had a 750D on my SL-1210 and really loved it.

Well, on Monday my 12" Jelco arrived. Today I could mount it on a makeshift armboard which I'll use until I've decided how the new armboard should look.

I ordered the arm from Ammonite Acoustics...

I had two of them and loved them. I prefer the sound of the Pickering over the thin sound of the Denon DL-110 which I really never liked. But the XV-15 really fitted in the kind of sound I'm looking...

It seems as if I'm going for the 12" SA-750. Had a talk with a specialist and he told me that he would prefer the 750 and not recommend the 250 just as Hugo mentioned a few posts above. I'll order...

But maybe I'm wrong :).

Yes, I considered the one or other vintage arm. Besides having a lot of patience until you find a one in good shape, which will then have its cost, there'll at least in most cases be the need to send...

Yes, the 12" version of the 250 looks really nice:

I like those S-shaped tonearms and think they would fit the SL-110...

Hi,

I want to buy a new tonearm for my SL-110 this year. The only 12 inch tonearms that will comfortably fit on this deck are the Jelcos with a mounting distance of 290mm.
Jelco seems to offer a...

Hi,
congrats to your new deck!
Just bought a SL-120 a month ago as well. Got an armboard for my LAD Jelco derivate from Soundsupports an I must say it sounds better
than my SL-1210 with the same...

I have the Achromat for the SL and it is definitely an improvement over the standard rubber mat, the Sound-Hifi mat (discontinued, I believe). The only criticism I have is, that when they offer an...

Yes, it looks really great.

I agree with you. The price is ridiculous. That's about 350 € without shipping. You can get the one or other decent vintage direct drive for that price. The KAB one is priced more moderately but you...

Hi,
we had this topic around here somewhere and it was filled with a lot of information and some of it was not always related to plinths.

Finished plinths come from KAB and from Inspire-HiFi....

I used a headshell cable to join the two pins. Works fine.

Hi,
got tickets for the 14th of May.

Sorry, that your concert was cancelled.

Just bought "I'm New Here" on vinyl. It's going to be a fine evening with red wine and some good music :).

"The Prisoner" is my favourite track on that album. Love the bass and that jazzy piano with the drums steppin' in. Real fun.
