Somehow, that all-black treatment gives your turntable a sinister look. I've got an SL-1210M5G, which has a silver tonearm and pivot assembly, and it looks more run-of-the mill, compared with the monochrome look of yours. It does have the speckle black paint, though, so that's a different flavour of cool. It's funny how Technics can bring out a new turntable that appears to be mostly the same as previous models, and yet clearly sounds better. Yes, the bronze platter and the new motor must play a big part in the improved sound, but the classic style is preserved. If I listened to my LPs more often, I'd be looking at a 1210G myself. Happy spinning!

Spot on George 🤘 On the other hand this next album is inspiring No other guitarist can exhibit such feelings of anger, love, awe and happiness better than this artist Artist - Jeff Beck Title - Wired Album ID - https://www.discogs.com/release/20511487-Jeff-Beck-Wiredg

https://www.discogs.com/release/17638759-Butterfly-Doorways-Of-Time Sadly, this is their only release up to now... Their page on bandcamp is all but dead. Maybe Paul @Full Range knows more?

Wanna bet? Direct drive to Belt drive. The difference can be heard.

That´s still their best ..the SL 1000 R , but over $ 16 K 🤑...without cartridges 😂

Up goes the volume! I remember hearing this album at every party back in the 80s or so. As soon as it came on, the volume would be cranked up, by popular demand, and everyone paused to listen to Boston. Cool!

George, it's almost like listening to this one. I got the poor kid next door. Did my thang again today and dumped everything on the outside of the bushes hiding the side of his backyard. He sits on the corner of the street coming into the oval. Left everything else of his go. It'll all wind up here anyway. I'll just let him mumble for a while. 😂 Mid 60's tomorrow so might just slip out and hit mine a couple more times. Windy today so just smiled on the inside as I watched them blowing towards the neighbors north of me. Maybe I should hit "Satisfaction" now. 😂 Bleh, just another day in Duckburg.

I thought this was the place where one could listen to good tunes on vinyl, I mus have been mistaken... Could You please guide me to the right room? 🙃😋

I have several irons in the fire right now but today I’m trying to make some progress on another one of DJK’s ideas for the LS.

I say: "Anyone who bets, loses." 😉

Certainly looks very well made, but I doubt You could hear the difference to your rig, George...

have another one

we had a rainy day today , after I finished my houseworks I started to spin some records .. thanx for the inspiration @Full Range next was Santana 3 ( Batuka ) followed by Wishbone Ash " Front Page News " and after dinner I spun the german " Genesis " Triumvirat with " Illusion on a double dimple " now I´m done 😂 btw , I reactivated my Audio Technica AT 7 V today . As it´s a hard complied cantilever it needs a heavy tonarm to perform on it´s best level, so I used a 15 Gram Headshell and a second counterweight on my MA 505 MK II Tonearm to get it work, I can tell you buddies ...it rocks ! want to mention that I´m waiting for the deliverence from another famous cart , will tell you w/in the next few days, thought it arrives today, but it will be delivered early next week

didn´t knew that the german car manufacturer VW build a goldfish bus , so it can drive and swim like this one

Well ..it´s 7. 15 am here , washing some laundry and had a green Sencha tee . Next is to wash the curtains in the sleeping room, they are new and still smell of residual manufacturing scents. The vapors causing a headdache at night. Even the open window air circulation can´t prevent this. It's just getting light outside, the birds are waking up. The sky is covered with gray clouds, later I will go shopping and wait for the mail, I bought a vintage pickupfor my tt in very good condition and think it will be delivered today. Time for the first coffee in the morning

Me either , I like what they´re doin , but never had a wish to buy a record from them . Even if I would buy all their albums they ever produced , who cares 😂

I’ve cleaned the K-76 style diaphragms before by carefully removing the nuts that hold it together and then lifting the horn off, then for the diaphragm itself I dusted it very lightly with a soft paintbrush until the dust and fuzzies were gone.

The new Beatles song has been released Its not bad - words are beautiful Could have been simpler and more unique if they had just the two of them play as Paul is a multi instrumentalist

begun to spin this early evening first was 10 CC " bloddy tourists " second was Police " Regatta de Blanc " right this minute Eric Burdon & War " Love is all around "

Count me in, my 601 is belt-driven. 😁

I've had mid 50s for highs and upper 20s for the low temp for about 5 days now. Then 30 this morning and it's been right at 70 for the past couple hours. Jeez. I had to come out of my long johns, err wool base layer at lunch time . Not a cloud in the sky again so it'll be nippy again.

Ja JJ true , a good comparison

Looks kind of like one of those Pantera's from way back George. They epitomized the Wedge!

but ...as far as I know no one from owns a belt driven tt , so we´re experts 😅 except this little Linn Owner , what´s his name ? 🤣 but ..we can forgive @Dave1291 as he own the biggest record colletion 🥸

Lil Happy Birthday wishes from Mike Portnoy to Jordan Rudess of Dream Theater. Watch 'em go! From their "Live @ Budokan show!

Indeed , have it as well !

Garaj Mahal

That’s probably my favourite Rolling Stones song But I don’t have any Stones albums in the collection as the didn’t tickle my fancy in my youth

we have tons of daddy long legs [cobwebs] and dust.... high r/h is 30%, we live on a dirt road and have a fireplace

Dirtbag, oh I mean dirtmudd (Thorens 125) & Me (Thorens) 126 & The mighty Dave (Linn). I can comment, being I have the both of 2 worlds...

I've been walking around the apartment for hours in my bathrobe, with socks and crocks on my feet , still raining outside , strong winds and 45 F , typical november rain

How about a quad of EL84s via a 300B per channel?

hey whatever works , is fine with me , I have 2 pairs of Heresy , they sit higher up , but if someone likes em better lower , great

it is my late dad's Sansui !!! wow..what a coincidence it is a killer receiver.. Never going to part ways with it

BTW i like your turntable and this vintage Sansui. In the house of my mother is still the stereo of my father who passed away 20 years ago. A Sansui QR 6500 with SP2500 speakers in the front.

i am thinking a tube amp and a couple of rel subs in the future. So in the meantime i might just experiment with a few inches here and there😅

Well, as a matter of fact, i tried low stands, but it seemed to weaken the bass.. the tilted up floor positioning seems good in comparison..

If it's not a big problem for you, I would take the white speakers out of the room for a day so that the Heresy2 can radiate more freely into the room. The bass often depends on the specific room. Sometimes it helps to change the distance between the speakers a little, i.e. the distance from left to right but keeping at the wall, sometimes the bass changes just by a few centimeters. Congratulations btw. In addition the white speakers if they are ported, they could suck some bass energy away from the Heresys. So a second reason to put them away at least for some testing.

On the Type B crossover, the tweeter filter is connected to tap 4 (-3.35db, dotted line). Simply desolder that wire (which is connected to the 2uf tweeter capacitor), and solder it to tap 5 (-0db, bold line).

100 watts or better is what I suggest.

Part of a BlueNote sale:

As I used the 1210 Series three and a half decades ago as a prof. DJ , I´m happy that these outstanding tt is still alive and beeing better than ever before. Have a lot of fun my french vinyl buddy Guy 😁

Ain't she pretty! Sorry, I have the GAE in Black, w/SME 309 arm. Congrats on a fine machine. Enjoy getting to know her.... Happy spinning 😜
