Hi Marco. Hope you don't mind the PM, but would appreciate your opinion/advice off-line. Have read loads of threads and you seem to have a pretty balanced viewpoint and I'm just aware that there are some strong views out there and people with trade interests/connections. Re my SL-1210, I've got a DL-304 and the decent Sumiko headshell, squidigy mat and record clamp are in the post. I just want to know if there's value in doing 'stuff' with the standard arm, or if I'm 'flogging a dead horse'. My problem is that, I know what I (really, really) want is a SA-750D but at £450, that's going to be pushing my luck on the WAF, even with my understanding better-half. So can I get some worthwhile improvements out the standard arm without 'dropping a monkey' on the Jelco. Thoughts appreciated. Regards Steve
