The other parts of my kit are as follows: Sony STR-DA5ES with the pre-out feeding a Yamaha MX-830. My sources are a Sony DVP-NC555ES and my SL-1200MK2 using a Audio Technica at120e. My speakers a Infinity RS5 "Mutts" and Maggie MG-2.5R's.
The SL-1200 so far has the tonearm re-wired & cotton stuffed, DIY external PS (stock parts used), RCA cables upgraded, a couple of the caps on the PCB upgraded, an O-ring under the spindle bearing housing with some blue LED's and a repaint thrown in for good measure. Currently experimenting with different mats (stock/cork-rubber/acrylic). Even with just these few mods the SQ has improved and I like it!
