The modified SL-1200: understanding the dynamics of 'synergy'....

[JazzBones]

Jazzy should remember a certain LP12/SME V and Kiseki Agat Ruby combo from yesteryear. god, that set sounded good A 309 with Troika headshell trounced a similarly priced Ittok/Troika too, although it dodn't sell because it wasn't judged "kosher."

Nah, I LOVE SME's except for one thing - the cachet prices they charge for everything these days. thank heavens for the Jelco 750

Hi DaveO old mate, sorry my reply is coming in a couple of days late but I move slowly nowadays at about 33.3 rpm and slowing down as opposed to 45rpm in my 'yoooof' Yes, I well remember that marriage of an LP12 plus SME and Kesiki, it was for that man who regularly did the Beford to Brighton run stopping off in London for a shopping bag of Jazz CDs, man was I envious. The SME mounted on a Linn LP12 was not an easy job, and you still bare the grooves on your forehead from fiddle arseing around with suspension springs, bounce etc. At the time, the 80s, it was blaspheme akin to having a woman cardinal at the Vatican! One thing the SME does have is Leica type build which all in our circle greatly admired and lusted after. But not all are of the persuasion and Marco doesn't like the SME with tomato ketchup, ermm, that could be SPUDS

Before I aimlessly meander off and demagnatise myself with a Furetech bristle or three, I think we have drifted off course here and should get back into giving Chris P support and encourage persistence with his Tekko, faint heart never won etc.

Tooroo for now

Darren, there was a new dimension to breakfast this morning, my egg and bacon were scrutinised more than usual for any trace of your boss, he wasn't Danish by any chance? I've gone off the idea of having pork chops for dinner now!

Mind you, this one might help get your appetite back. I suppose the only question is "why would you?"



Sorry for the thread drift!

Pop a couple of scampi on her nips, and you've got a whole new take on 'surf 'n' turf'!

Well ding and dangle my dongle, I wondered what all the kafuffle was at my Morrison's meat counter, I thought it was just crashing trollies

[chris@panteg]

Can i just say , it was a rather rash and frustrated comment ! That has more to do with cartridge set up than any synergy , this is all a bit daft but in my own defense i did try and point out that i was getting a better balanced sound in another post .

I didn't expect the Spanish Inquisition lol .

Now running a 1042 on loan from Strat , what a top bloke .

[Marco]

Lol - I think it was the comments you made on pfm, like this:

And to be honest i think i've kidding myself as to this deck's [the Techy's] abilities and perhaps have been chasing fool's gold...

....that raised the alarm bells, dude!!

Anyway, you know we're only here to help, and so I'm glad things are looking up a bit now
