Hey I'm famous!!!!

Page 17 "I'm the "at a friend's house with an SME 309 fitted...." dude
However, the rabid enthusiasm for the 1200 out
in the world of internet forums has kept my interest
piqued. The Sound HiFi mods described here were
brought to my attention by a good friend on the MartinLogan
forum (an SME owner) who had just heard
the modded table at a friend’s house with an SME
309 arm fitted. “Dude, you need to get this mod in
for review. You won’t believe how great the SL-1200
sounds with this arm and a good cartridge.”

Nice that the modded 1200 is getting some recognition as a true audiophile table

Yes its indeed and as i have the timestep/1210 but with a stock arm ' its going to be an agonising wait until i can afford a 309 or most likely i will go for one of the jelco's

Chris, I can attest to the DL-160 working very well with the Jelco SA250ST arm. You know you want to do it...

Nice one Pete, but you've still got the original feet on. Get yourself a set of Isonoes pronto, you'll be amazed at the difference!

I noticed that
Looks great. A tragedy that SME's are so expensive. A relic from when HiFi was desirable and priced accordingly...
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?
