I never did hear, Mike, how you got on with Simon, regarding the RD-212D? :)

I just resent ,y question and he replied right away. 1st one lost

Closest he has is a RS309D 12”
So looks like our friends in Japan for a 212D .........

Ah, okies - that's a shame... So are you going to order a 212D from Japan? If so, make sure you get one of Steve's ebony armboards to go with it :)

Yeh. Been there with the MN Bearing, £80 I think that was :(

Mike, have you thought about getting one of the Micro Seiki arms, as used by RobbieGong (and I think also Tony), shown here: http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...e-tech-gallery

I reckon it's probably 80-90% as good as a 212D, at a fraction of the price... It'll certainly suit the Techy very well and should take an SPU (although you may need Steve to make you a heavier counterweight balance).

Not on my radar at all. Thanks Marco.
Fraction of the price sounds nice :)
How does it compare to my Jelco SA-750D ?
