Hello
I joined up yesterday after I accidentally stumbled upon the forum. A pleasant surprise.
I am putting a small SQ system together for my father and after bit of a Google last night I discovered my SL1210 MKII's (that have been stored in my cupboard for approx 10 years) seem to have a huge following with regards to modding for SQ. I didn't realise these were so revered and sought after. I bought my set in the beginning of the 90's so it makes perfect sense to me to give him one of mine as they are such a solid well made machine and in pretty good condition.
Mods wise I would love some suggestions as I have been searching this forum and there appears to be so much to choose from.
I'm also looking for recommendations of where to source the parts online and someone who can carry out any soldering work that maybe required as I can't solder to save my life!
The mod list so far set out below. If anything I have listed has a better counterpart for the same price please let me know.
- Jelco TS-550S 9" Tonearm
- Audio Technica AT33EV Cartridge
- Oyaide BR-12 Turntable Mat
- Isonoe Audio Isolation Feet
I am undecided on moving the power supply externally. I know the theory behind doing it but is this mod is really needed.
I would also be interested to hear from anyone who has gone with the aftermarket platters and again if this mod is really needed.
Thanks very much guys, i'm off to do a lot more searching.
