July 2, 201412 yr comment_643395 Congrats on the new cart! Technics seems to use the Stevenson alignment points. Totally different from a Baerwald/Lofgren alignment, and IMO much more better. If you want to fine-tune it, you can print Stevenson protractors from Vinylengine. I have heard mixed reviews of the Techincs gauge - although that may be because the Technics gauge does not follow Baerwald and when people put it on their generic protractors (almost always Baerwald) to test it does not line up...http://www.vinylengine.com/protractor-user-guide.shtml Sweet, thanks! Sounds great now, but I'll run the hi fi news test record eventually just to see. If I'm unhappy with the results I'll try out that protractor. The technics gauge may not be loved by some because it relies so heavily on "eyeing it". Its basically one point alignment: set 52mm overhang then square in the headshell. But really all alignment methods come down to "eyeing it" in some way. Report

July 3, 201412 yr comment_643556 I'm leaning toward not subscribing. I can't decide. $27, includes art, but doesn't discuss the details of their pressing. I think I'll start monthly, and see what i get from them. Report
July 4, 201412 yr comment_643686 That's what I did. Even a three-month subscription is iffy if the quality isn't going to be great. I'll get the first one and see how I feel about it. Report
July 11, 201412 yr comment_644521 went with monthly - if good then look at other options later. Report

July 12, 201412 yr comment_644562 Is there anything in purple? http://turntablelab.com/products/pro-ject-dinosaur-jr-custom-debut-carbon-turntable-purple It says it should be shipping late June/Early July... May want to contact them about it. The Debut Carbon gets a lot of praise for the segment. I'll be getting a black one when I can. **BRENT** Report

July 23, 201412 yr comment_646063 It was just a matter of time someone filled that market niche. I wish it has the same quality. Report
July 23, 201412 yr comment_646069 Pioneer created Technics as a "high end" brand to overcome limitations of their name much like Toyota/Lexus, Nissan/Infinity, or Honda/Acura. They certainly could have made it cheaper than a knock-off, but they should also have all of the parts and knowledge to make it better than a 1200. Or exactly the same as its always been. Report
July 23, 201412 yr comment_646072 Interesting, I always thought that the parent company of Technics was Panasonic, not Pioneer, but I'm sure you know better Report

July 23, 201412 yr comment_646101 Lots of discussion at SH over this table. They are trying to decide if its truly a reborn 1200 or if its a modification of one of those chinese usb tables. They are also getting really angry with each other. For a bunch of Beatles fans the Hoffman forum is one of the angrier places on the internet. Report
July 23, 201412 yr comment_646114 They are also getting really angry with each other. I like how mildly you said that. Report
July 25, 201412 yr comment_646346 Hopefully, it really is a reborn 1200. It made me sad when it went away. (Even though I've never owned one. It's the idea of the thing ) Report

July 27, 201412 yr comment_646484 lots of listening.... I was not expecting to keep this recording - but the 7th really did capture me - mono but I am fine with that.... Just too good of a performance and recording to consider purging.. worthy... Historically good but not great and recording not up to snuff to listen to. Another boxed set that I thought was throw away... wrong - No.22 captured great... (along with the others) Another I never expected to keep - these guys from the 1800's know what they are doing - recording is good - but everything else is there in spades. Fun with the insides as well.. What is this? and where did it come from? .. I don't know - but it is going to stick around for a bit... (70's goodness - you may know "Just remember I love you") Escape? - yes, yes I will... along with the rest of the tunes.. Okay... Starcastle - Fountains of Light.. what the actual Fuck? -- How did I have this for so long and not know that this album pretty much kicked ass? -- 1977 - Yes ripoff that I think is killer. (fan) (fuzzy phone pics... but fun evening).... Edited July 27, 201412 yr by mikeymad Report
July 28, 201412 yr comment_646613 So, have I missed the U Turn impressions somewhere? I'm curious. Still wanting a Pro-ject Debut Carbon, but curious. **BRENT** Report
