White gloves for obvious reasons, need to see myself in the reflection. kidding. Thanks Simon de Pass, I have seen these decks before but my memory was of a timber plinth, but that plinth that you like to polish with the gloves is acrylic by the look of it. Well, the obvious reasons for the gloves escapes me, but gloves are probably pretty good for polishing the plinth, but not something I’d necessarily recommend around a turntable though. The more dexterity you can muster the better and gloves, IME, don”t offer much in that regard.

Simon de Pass Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 No metal actually. I don't like to polish it. It's to avoid getting fingerprints all over it when removing it from the box. I think you can still get the models with the timber plinth I believe. Cheers. Simon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegasus Posted September 26, 2021 Share Posted September 26, 2021 You should try polishing an Aura turntable! There's a lot of brass in it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

April Snow Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 On 07/09/2021 at 7:12 AM, likewiise said: Great thread! My humble technics 1210s.. 21 years of use and still going strong! Sound great through my mostly vintage setup.. High End Condesa Rotary mixer (Made in Adelaide!) > Marantz 3300 pre > Marantz 250M power > Magnificent Tannoy Arden HPD385 speakers (Alnico magnet MK1 version).. Looking into upgrading the tonearms on both decksto Jelco or similar... These are used for both djing and Hifi listening so whilst I know there are much better Hifi tables out there.. I'm keen to find a middle ground between sound quality and function. Any suggestions on great technics 1200/1210 upgrades? Such a beautiful room - love the vibes it gives - looks rich and warm and inviting - put the kettle on and I'll be round !! hahahahaha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossb Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Second arm on my Rega P8, a Rega RB2000, re-wired by Sonic Art in Melbourne, with an Ortofon Cadenza Mono. The arm is on an armboard made for me by Magna Audio in the UK. This is going into the MC phono card of my Exposure 5010 preamp. The Nagaoka MP300 on the other arm, is what I use for background listening while working. It is connected to the phono card of my Mytek Manhattan II dac, which is surprisingly very good. My main turntable is still the PTP Solid 9, Audio Origami PU7 and Windfeld Ti. But this avoids wasting the stylus life of the Winfeld Ti and tube life in my Tron phono stage for non-critical listening. 10 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Old Man Rubber Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I thought the tip shop turntable finds had dried up completely, but apparently not. A JVC QL-A2, quartz locked direct drive turntable with a cool speed sensor based on LEDs instead of a flouro light. The speed switch might need cleaning out, it sometimes defaults to 45 despite the switch being set to 33 but otherwise it's lovely. Interestingly it has no earth cord on it but has no earth hum or anything. Pretty nice bit of japanese gear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
