I'm trying to get the SL120 out of it's box.
Jeez!..... anyone got a crane I can borrow? :please:

Hmmm..... So much for the tracking information!Quote:

I'd best get my finger out with this phono stage, although I'm still waiting for the MC traffo's to show up.
:smoking:
Still, that's better than having the tracking information say it's with you when it's really in Lithuania.:lolsign:Quote:

Oh, there is another slight problem.
Being a 'Japan only' model the documentation is (of course) all in Japanese!
I haven't got a clue what sort of loading this thing likes! :confused:
It does, however, come with a few useful little extras, such as long and short mounting screws, a nice cleaning brush, screwdriver, and last but not least, a set of PCOCC headshell leads. Which is nice. :)
Cheers,
Mike.
Which are detachable and therefore bugger all use in your Hadcock :lol:Quote:

Never mind you can send them to me ;)
The following should be of use regarding your AT33PTG:
I would go for 100ohms (the norm) and optimise it if necessary from there :)Quote:

Thanks Marco,
I'd already unearthed that info though :)
20 ohms or more is a bit of use, but not that much!
Quite right about the headshell leads with the Haddock, but they'll come in handy sooner or later. ;)
No worries, mate. Like I said, go for 100ohms, which is 'standard' for an MC and tweak it from there. Flexibility is one of the benefits of going the D.I.Y route :smoking:
Marco.
Just got one of these on ebay - damn cheap.
http://www.vinylengine.com/library/pioneer/pl-71.shtml link to brochure.
Sad but I remember this beast early 70's. I lusted after one then but couldn't afford it, made do with a PL12AC (much better built than the PL12D). Top of the range of Pioneer t/t, considered by many the best technical expression of the DD until the 1980's Trio LC07D.
Beautifull construction and nearly twice as heavy as the Technics - steel base with real walnut top.
So now I have a 1210 and collecting this beast next week, though the 1210 is out on loan, so which one gets the work done on it is up for votes. But for looks this Pioneer is so beautifull and is built like a tank and beats the 1210 on that basis.
Looks great, Richard. Nice find :)
I (and I'm sure a few others) look forward to reading about your forthcoming escapades with it.
Marco.
