Different LP! How much did the platter set you back? Also, I am curious about the weight of the platter. In the meantime We have to play 'spot the difference' while you play 'hear the difference!'Quote:

Any difference is subtle, but there is a difference. IMHO, tThe biggest upgrade that you can do on a Technics is the arm.
Just got my Denon DL-103R.

Attachment 12724The Oyaide MJ-12+Oyaide BR-One came today. And yes, it's definately an upgrade from the Achromat 1200 platter. And it looks great too!
Nice looking and l am sure great sounding deck there Chris, now all you need is the Oyaide record weight to take it to new heights of loveyliness.:)

Coming along nicely with the addition of the Jelco arm recently :)
Very good looking! I see you also have the DL-103R. Before you got the Jelco 750D, did you have the KAB Cardas/ Fluid Damper? If so, what difference in SQ did you notice?Quote:

However, I also took the opportunity to fit a Furutech ag-12 tonearm cable, and I haven't heard a rewired stock arm to compare. But having thought stock set up with the aid of the technics overhang gauge sounded pretty damn good, the improvement with the Jelco has surprised me :)Quote:
