I like the Meters. I know that's gonna cause outrage but each to their own. Lovely.

I have to agree with the love for meters. Quality, well-executed ones, such as those on the Yamaha, look simply gorgeous - especially when they're illuminated at night in a darkened room :)
You surprise me, Geoff, as meters on 'retro' Jap amps are pretty much considered as de rigueur!
Nice one on the Yammie, Andrew. Glad that the replacement seems fine. I love its looks. All that would concern me is whether its a triumph of style over substance, and so I'd have to listen to it to find that out.
Enjoy! :cool:
Marco.
It's definitely not style over substance. It's been on for about 10 hours today and I can honestly say it's by far, the best amp I've not only owned but pretty much heard.Quote:

If you've read the WHF review my only advice is to just ignore it. This is a serious piece of kit and not what you would expect from a 'generic brand'.
I love it.
That's great news!!! Ignore what you read if it makes you happy!!!! Looks the balls anyway [emoji6]

+1, indeed :)
It would've been rather disappointing otherwise, as the amp looks utterly fab, although perhaps not quite up to the standard of vintage Accuphase, in that respect:

Oh, and I'm glad to see that Technics have improved the (shockingly piss-poor) feet on the original SL-1200 with something that certainly looks much better. All you need to do now is fit an Achromat, as unfortunately they're still supplying their £3k T/T with a rubber mat, which is equally as piss-poor!! ;)
Amyway, enjoy :cool:
Marco.
There can't be much in it, reckon the Yammy's got the edge!
