How good is a fully upgraded Technics SL-1210mk2 compared to other high end TT?

[ChrisKemp]

I have long wondered how good a fully modified 1210 is. Now I know My 1210M5G is now completed and the newly bought DL-103R is also run in and the Oyaide MJ-12/ BR-One is in full effect.

I had my father over for a demo yesterday. He has been a hifi enthusiast all his life. He said that my system had so much synergy that it might be the best he has ever heard.

If someone say that a fully modified 1210 misses involvement or PRaT, the something is very wrong. My system is SO dynamic, tight, airy and full of involvement that I now don't have any desire for another deck. I don´t even have desire to upgrade my fully modified KAB arm. I think I have just the right amount of fluid in the KAB Damper, too. I have experimented alot with the amount of fluid and now it is just right in my setup..

My ProAc Response D25 is so fast, tight, deep and open and I totally understand why ProAc is such a sought after speaker.

Yesterday I bought to new LPs. Jazz at the Pawnshop and the last album from Royksopp feat. Robyn. Fantastic Now I'm waiting for my first 45 RPM LP (Hugh Masekela "Hope").

I want to thank many in here for guiding and tips, espesially you Marco. I can now consentrate on listening to music, with my toes tapping and with a big smile on my face
