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

    As the title says;

    How good is a fully modified Techy 12xx, with say new PSU, MN Bearing, ETP platter, Isonoe Feet, new arm (Jelco 750D or Origin Live Silver or Funk Firm)…

    compared to say:

    Linn LP12

    JR Transrotor ZET-1

    Rega RP8 with Apheta cartridge

    VPI Classic

    Michell GyroDeck

    Michell Orbe SE

    Avid Diva

    ProJect RPM-10.1



    ALL of these TT obove will cost about the same as a fully modified Technics deck.

    My upgrades so far has been relatively low cost (KAB Fluid Damper, Mains PSU, Achromat 1200, Isonoe). The three next upgrades will be high cost upgrades:
    - Mike New Bearing.
    - Mike New ETP platter
    - Origin Live Silver/ Jelco 750D tonearm/ FX arm

    I was hoping that someone that has heard or own a fully upgraded 12xx, and compared it to or upgraded it to another high end TT could share som input. Hopefully compared it to one of the above.

    Here is a picture of the German made JR Trans Rotor ZET-1:
