SL-1210 upgrade path

Nice job! :)

And it reminds me, I need to get my hands on some more glued heatshrink. :scratch:

However, the rabid enthusiasm for the 1200 out
in the world of internet forums has kept my interest
piqued. The Sound HiFi mods described here were
brought to my attention by a good friend on the MartinLogan
forum (an SME owner) who had just heard
the modded table at a friend’s house with an SME
309 arm fitted. “Dude, you need to get this mod in
for review. You won’t believe how great the SL-1200
sounds with this arm and a good cartridge.”

Nice that the modded 1200 is getting some recognition as a true audiophile table :)

Yes its indeed and as i have the timestep/1210 but with a stock arm ' its going to be an agonising wait until i can afford a 309 or most likely i will go for one of the jelco's :)

Chris, I can attest to the DL-160 working very well with the Jelco SA250ST arm. You know you want to do it... :)

Martin ' i have no doubt in my mind that its what i need and probably all i will ever need ,its going to happen sooner rather than later old chap':)

Well gents its been a while and I have been a busy boy.
But the SME 309 has been supplanted :)

PS my SME 309 bought about 1.5 years ago new from Dave C. is for sale

Nice one Pete, but you've still got the original feet on. Get yourself a set of Isonoes pronto, you'll be amazed at the difference!

I noticed that :lolsign:

Looks great. A tragedy that SME's are so expensive. A relic from when HiFi was desirable and priced accordingly... :(
