A few Changes

A new jelco sa-750d arrived in the post for me today. I'm just waiting for an armboard to arrive and will then be fitting it to the sl121 0 with some luck!

Sorry for the terrible photo, just thought I'd post a quick one to show that the sa-750 is now in place on the technics. Fitting it proved to be a simple job made easier by the ammonite collar. The arm came from member "tidywires" over on the Wam who took my wand in exchange, he also supplied me with a Vinyl Adventure Rebel tonearm cable which suited my modest budget ☺

I've only ran a couple of albums on it so far so it's a bit too early say what it's really like although sitting here listening to The Doors live at the Aquarius Theatre (which I think is a great live recording) it's bopping along nicely.

Nicely done! I've ordered the same arm for my 1210 too

Hi Kjell, thanks for yourcomments!

It's a really nice bit of kit mate, it has a lovely solid engineered feel when using it and sounds decent too. Visually it looks good on the deck too.

Looks like it was made for the deck Ben. Nice one. How does it sound compared to your previous arm?

It certainly looks the part dont it James! I'm a bit loath to say too much about the jelco's "sound" yet as it's still early days (and im not great at putting what i hear into word's at the best of time) but so far it seems pretty good. Il deffinately report more once iv spent a bit more time with it.

Il have to get a few photos up soon as I've just agreed to buy a new amp that's to be collected at the weekend.

I have no complaints with my current set up but sometimes you just get "itchy ears" and fancy trying something new......so anyway by the weekend I should be the owner of the Jungson amp that's been in the classified recently. I'm not sure exactly what to expect from it, ive heard its quite "valve like" in its presentation. I've lived with my valve amp for about 2.5 years now so it will be interesting to see what I make of a big solid state lump of an amp if nothing else

I've also just fitted one of "Ianmac's" bearings into my sl1210 and that's just bedding in now as well.
