Thanks to Qwin for being the first (that I know of) to post his DIY carbon fiber tonearm for the 1200. I just completed this on my 1200 M3D and love it.
I also used KAB superflex wire and ran it from the cartridge straight to RCA jacks I put on one of the hinge plates. While I had it apart I put a blue LED in place of the white pop up light.
I built an external PSU (from a thread here) a while back. Sorbothane feet and a KAB fluid damper are also being used.
I had the fluid damper before the DIY tonearm and left it on mainly for comparing the sound, I may take it off later just to see.
