Marco - I think a spoonful of your own medicine may be appropriate in these circumstances - theories are all well and good, but ears should be the final and only arbiters - acrylic may indeed not work with the 1200/1210 - but no one will know for sure either way until heard - the proof of the pudding, etc. I'm sure you will tell it as it is, but until such time as the new platter is actually listened too, everything is merely conjecture. For sure, all parties will be beating their chests, and rightly so - but we will only know for sure with a direct comparison. (No offence intended to any party - just telling it how I see it. )
