You've probably seen the 1200GR for that price, not the 1200G.

Oops!, beaten to it!

I am looking to try it and an acrylic mat I also purchased.

Be interested in your thoughts on the Achromat :)

Main reason i initally bought it is to solve the VTA Issue. The later Technics decks only seem to go down, even on the lowest arm height setting to about 17mm at a push with the supllied 2.5mm rubber mat. With a Jelco Headshel it's getting on for 20mm, so yoy either need a shim or a thicker mat. Luckily the achromat is exremely well reviewed and also 5mm thick allowing almost any cart to be used without a shim.

I do have carbon fibre shim bought from a seller in Germany from ebay that is 2.7mm thick but don't know if it messes up the sound or not?

Thanks for the clarification gents, thread title caught my eye, but still, some very good deals!

Well I couldn't wait, i pinched the Delos back from the Linn.

It sounds absolutely incredible. It's probably less analogue sounding than the Linn but it has serious detail, I mean 'HUGE'! Think the best sounding digital source you've ever heard and multiply it by a factor of 100x with an analogue flavour.

What I find incredible is you can really follow what people are singing, like all the words. Noise floor is so low I had to check the stylus was on the record or wired up correctly.

So as you can imagine, I like it, a lot.

I'll defo be doing an evaluation then of the stock mat, Acrylic and Achromat when I'm able to do so, which hoepfully wont be too long now ;)

Well, with the 2.5mm supplied rubber mat against the Achromat, the whole soundstage collapses.

Funny how people equate tonal and pitch anomalies as sounding more analogue. :D

If you're playing a record, no matter what on, it sounds analogue. 'Cos it is! :)
