Timestep Hi Fi Forum

[Marco]

Hi guys,

This is just to introduce Dave Cawley's new forum to all our resident Technics T/T aficionados, where amongst other things, you can get up-to-date info on the latest SL-1200 mods, such as the new platter and HE power supply, as well as chat to the man himself.

Dave has decided that the best way to facilitate discussion of his products is to provide a friendly platform for this on his own site. Both AOS and Dave are passionate about the continual development of the SL-1200 and excited about what can be achieved by maxing-out the performance of its core mechanical design and transforming it into a truly exceptional turntable.

We therefore wish Dave every success with his new venture, where both AOS and the Timestep Hi Fi Forum will work together to provide the latest information on these exciting new modifications for the SL-1200 and keep Techie fans here and on Dave's forum happy. So, guys, let's offer Dave our support by checking out and joining his new forum :

I didn't wish to mention it for fear of opening recently healed (?) hurts..

Hi Dave,

That's all over with now, as far as I'm concerned. I'm sure Dave feels the same way. We must move on and focus and develop our mutual interests

I notice you've joined Dave's forum, but then you always were somewhat of a 'forum tart'!

Is there any audio forum out there you're not a member of?

One or two, but I only usually frequent this one now unless summat from elsewhere piques my interest.

I'm an outsider on Dave's forum tbh, as I've finally got the TD125/R200/Nagaoka headshell going with an old but mint tipped Ortofon MC30 Super. I just enjoy talking about my long standing life-interest. Apologies if I go on too long.

With new Thorens belt, a platter-damping "belt," and as careful as I can on the exit cable termination and dressing, the TD125 actually sounds really good, in a gentle civilised kind of way - and no wavering pitch!!!. The isolation is significantly superior to the SL-150 and even if I tap the top plate or playing record, only a very, very muffled thud comes through. I have to sort the glued-in springs though as the suspension is inclined to "shimmy" rather than "bounce." This'll take all my LP12 experience to sort I'm thinking.

I'll sort a piccie or three when the "office" PC has sorted itself out (it lost IE8 this morning for some reason) and I can transfer some images over and "remaster" them

Are there any you're not banned from?

[Marco]

Hahahaha.... One or two!

Have you suddenly embraced smilies?

Marco.

[Joe]

I thought I'd use them sparingly, just to make it clear when I'm not being deadly serious.

[Marco]

Liberal usage, selectively applied, is what we advocate

It'll be an avatar next!

It'll be one of Nigel Blackwell singing 'Irk The Purists' ()

Lol - go for it!
