Just ordered the 1200G!

No, the Technics is faulty. I spoke to Technics Uk as the motor is making a brushing sound as it rotates, like a dry brush on paper. They told me to get it replaced as it's faulty.

New one here on Wedneday. That was brand new though, you could just tell. The box only had one piece of tape on each end and it was packed professonally, i think it must have been dropped.

The amp was sent from Yamaha to the dealers on the 3rd November by the shipping label and the label was stuck over the packing , also dated only a day after I'd ordered it so it must have been Yamahas fault.

I thought it was just the aftermarket mat that was the problem?

Oh well, these things are sent to try us. But you do want to get a hefty discount off the dealer for taking the piss with that Yamaha. Don't worry, they can afford it. Even if you don't need the money it might teach them a lesson.

Yeah, the motor on my SL1200G is noisy, I spoke to a friend on pinkfish who has one and his is totally silent.

It makes the noise even without the mat. Even if you spin it by hand with no power applied.

Update, new deck here Wednesday!

I wonder what could make a noise from this motor? Could a coil have come loose or there mist be a foreign body stuck in there, I mean there can only be a few reasons for a brushing noise with every rotation?

[allthingsanalogue]

Some progress, need to recheck alignment but getting there. I want to hear the thing, have to wait until Wednesday.

Looking good

I fancy one of these turntables but must save my money for other things first. Will be interesting following the posts how these turn out long term though.

Now we're cookin!

Still needed the 2.7mm spacer though.

I've bought a Tiger Paw Vulcan wallshelf for the Linn so will be putting this on Pro-ject wall shelf at the weekend.

Will do a proper listening at the weekend but sounding good so far.

You've got polar opposites there with the Technics and the Linn. Although I notice you have tricked the Linn up a bit. Polar opposite in looks too. I prefer the industrial look of the Technics to the wooden plinthed decks myself.

The only thing that puts me off the look of the new one is the blue LEDS. Hi Fi LEDs, or hi-fi lights in general can be red, green, yellow or orange but never blue. I don't know who started the blue thing but they best hope I don't find out.

I mean that strobe would be so much better in orange. Maybe it is just me.

Anyway look forward to your thoughts on the sound, Andrew.

Really ? no probs with the blue at all, find it pretty inoffensive / discrete. Orange though in my view can be a bit yuck but hey ho, we all like different things I guess
