This is all very helpful info indeed. I really like the looks of the OL Silver and all the great reviews it has gotten, but I just hate that "fishing line". Is your OL Silver the mk3 version. Because on the OL website it looks like there is a new mechanism that has replaced the little rod? Maybe I'll email OL and ask
I must also say that with the upgrades so far, the 1210 is SO much better now. Cleaner and tighter base and much better midrange. I think the synergy between the PSU, the Achromat 1200 with record weight and the Isonoe did that. But I must say that the Isonoe made it all worse until I put the Isonoe feet on sorbotane. Now it sounds great.
The Fluid Damper is on its way from KAB and I should get it by next week. That is also why I wonder if I should keep the original arm for now and get MN Bearing.
In the last five months I have bougt the 1210 with all my so far upgrades, new Riaa with psu, new cartridge pluss a pair of ProAc Response D25 in cherry. They were not cheap
So if I buy either a MN Bearing or a Jelco/ Origin Live the other has to wait a long while until my next purchase
My wife is wathng me closely
I would like my next upgrade to be really worth while, so to speak.
