1210 mods? There's a new kid on the block and his name is Dave

Dave,

Can I ask where you obtained this particular specification from for the SA-750D?

• Effective mass 18gm

Richard, you won't regret it. It's one of the best tonearms I've ever used or heard - quite frankly, the price is a joke. Dave should be selling it for twice the amount and it'd still be a bargain!

The Time Step PSU is also a no-brainer. Sonically, it's every bit as good as the KAB PS-1200, although Dave will say that it's better engineered (which I suspect it is), although to my ears there is no difference sonically between the two.

Marco.

Thanks Marco - although I think Dave's price on the 750 is just right as it is...

Seriously, it looks fabulous and I just feel the 1210 needs to have an S-shaped arm imho. The reason I fancy the Time Step is simply because it's a UK-sourced piece of kit and it'd be good to have someone on the other end of a phone (in the same time zone!) if need be.

Tecchy should be here thursday morning...you can't beat the smell of a brand-new turntable

It wasn't there before. What's going on there, then?

It's a conspiracy! Can you hear everyone laughing

I think Dave is making a move to appeal to the rim-drive fans amongst us! I wouldn't worry - I'm sure the 1210 will be safe for a little while longer

Rich,

Seriously, it looks fabulous and I just feel the 1210 needs to have an S-shaped arm imho.

It looks even more fabulous in the flesh, trust me! It oozes class in terms of 'feel' when using it, too - typical top-notch Japanese engineering that only the likes of SME in the UK could emulate, at much higher prices!!

The reason I fancy the Time Step is simply because it's a UK-sourced piece of kit and it'd be good to have someone on the other end of a phone (in the same time zone!) if need be.

Too right! I'd have done the exact same thing if Dave's mods had been around when I bought my 1210.

Indeed. The same could be said of cars

Ah but you didn't hear both PSU on the same deck and cartridge, if you had, the Timestep would win hands down!!

It's easy peasy to fit, one soldered joint and fit a wire with a solder tag under a screw................

Here is a big image of the Lenco (soory!)

The review in Hi Fi World http://www.hi-fiworld.co.uk/hfw/currentish.html is very good, worth downloading in fact.

Hehe...it would be interesting to know what was going on though.

Dave,

LOL. You would say that!

We'll need to do that one when I come down. If you're right, I'll be buying a Time Step, *BUT* only if it's significantly better, sonically to the PS-1200, and I'll be the judge of that

Marco.

P.S See my post 131.

[Dave Cawley]

It's better! To balance things up:



On mass, e-mail me directly in the morning?
