You got anything nice in the mail you bought yourself lately.

Yes, but unfortunately it is still in the mail.  As soon as it arrives there will be much rejoicing and maybe a few pictures as well.

 Keep that little guy on your tonearm and it wont be for long. 

Jesus!

Nice TT, I had gotten the same one for the Ex back in the day.

[Dan_Halen]

Had it since it came out but I'm currently listening to it if that counts Dumpster D?

[Dumpster D]

 your Offering pleases dumpster. 

Looks like an early 2000s Era TT used for DJ sets, one of my Friends got a pair of those and spun a lot of Jungle parties for us all, I brought my Trilogy LPs to the party once, Friggin Burnt out night.

looks same as oldernies TT.

You are correct sir, early 2000s Technics SL-1200 MK3D. I went with the 3D models because they were on clearance. I didn't care about the special features. I still rock a DJ coffin too! Shhhhh! lol

what Model amps do you both use, that will determine wether or not your getting the most out of your Technics TTs..its not as straight forward as you would first think. Those Technics will boast excellent performance but when you are varying Amplification-speaker configuration, you will acheive possibly un-wanted sound colour and tonal Qualities depending how you have selected your speakers positions and Amp Model Im sure you both have the same TT but Two COMPLETELY different sounds coming out of them through your speakers and amp. First I recommend adjusting speaker positioning... Trying your speakers FULL-SPHERE (Centre of the Room) and determine the Anomalies in your Listening enviroment...Then Try HALF-SPERE (Directly parallel against one Wall in a four sided room, this will give you a Level Increase of +6 Db) If you go Quarter Sphere (facing out from two sides of your walls  in a four sided Room you will get an Additional +6 Db on top of Half Sphere Positioning) and you can play around, The position of Eighth Sphere is Up in the top corners of your Room walls aiming Centre of the room, you will truly hear all kinds of differences trying it out)

Depending on your power, and Speaker Ratings, It might only be a subtle difference in the end but the good- and _GREAT is always in those little Details, Also Inform me of the speaker impedance your Amps are Rated for and what specifications are your Drivers. Go further by describing the Ambience and size of your listening chamber if possible.

(If you are interested in any suggestions of course)

As for how your Azimuth and Skew and skate and balance are all setup is another story, how you care for your LPs another, and so on...And Clean styli, and un-worn Styli etc etc.

knowing what Type of Stylus you have, Optical Or Eliptical, also not all LPs are cut the same, infact most of the info Regarding the different manufacturing tools used in the Cutting is impossible, Theres all kinds of Lathes out there spanning over Too many generations. Hard to know what you get and how to get the most out of it at the end of the day...

I notice a Lot of new cut-180 Gram Vinyls that are Re-issues always have dead-air that sounds like someone blowing into a mic or something no idea where that anomaly comes from, the originals I have dont have a weirded out sound floor on them at all.


Cant stress this stuff enough.

thats a nice Cartridge Oldernie!!!

[Dan_Halen]

Here's how I have it set up.... 2 1200's with shure M447 Cartidges (always been partial to those since my DJ days)  into a Vestax PMC-05PRO Mixer. That goes through my Focusrite Saffire Pro interface and gets sent out into my Powere Event PS6 Powered Studio Monitors. (Complete with Auralex foam Mopads underneath) The reason for all this is I have a nice recording set up in my living room too.

[Dumpster D]

Thats going to sound pretty punchy.
