    Can a Technics SL-1200G challenge the state of the art?

    As already said the original magnesium arm is a really fine all-purpose tonearm, BUT a heavy SPU or a stonebody Koetsu only really sings in a heavy arm (for example a Glanz MH 94s or FR 64s).

    What tonearm(s) are people using with their Koetsu cartridges?

    Tigereye Platinum on Jelco HS 30 on Glanz MH 94-s is a dream :). A 12 inch Glanz should be even better!

    Can a Technics SL-1200G challenge the state of the art?

    Much better. Joking aside; The Glanz has a highly effective inner damping, so heavy, low compliance cartridges like SPUs or EMTs that send a lot of vibrational energy into the arm are handled with ease. The Technics arm is „softer“. But the Technics arm is a very fine tonearm and serves me very...

    Can a Technics SL-1200G challenge the state of the art?

    I ordered a Technics base which was prepared for the Glanz by the dealer (actually the work was done by Clearaudio). Later I saw there would be a cheaper option by: https://www.acoustand.co.uk/collections/all/products/acoustand-replacement-tonearm-base-panel-for-technics-sp-10r

    Can a Technics SL-1200G challenge the state of the art?

    The Glanz was the same MH-94s on both turntables, the SPU is one of my collection of 7 SPUs, but the differences were comstant. Just more of everything, especially more musical involvement. After all the 1200G is a mighty fine turntable and with the Glanz tonearm (and an SPU) even better, but if...

    Can a Technics SL-1200G challenge the state of the art?

    As you can see from the above I‘ve done exactly this, but in my opinion the turntable plays a greater role!

    Can a Technics SL-1200G challenge the state of the art?

    Been there done it. And yes it was a lot better than the standard tonearm, BUT the upgrade to an SL-1000r changed things considerably! The SL-1000r is massively better than the 1200G (even with the Technics tonearm of the SL-1000r). IMHO the 1200G was only slightly ahead of my old trusty 1210 MkII

    Cable between SUT and phonostage

    It‘s important to use a low capacity cable and it should be as short as possible.

    The Concorde is a humble Pro S with a Stylus 40. And it‘s really good. There is a better Foto:

    Meanwhile it‘s run in and mounted on the Glanz MH-94s. It‘s the most refined sounding cartridge I ever heard. Perfect musicality, perfect PRAT, completely undisturbed tracking …. I‘m in LOVE!!

    It‘s way too early for comparisons between the two Koetsus, the Carnelian arrived on monday so it is brand new. The Tigereye is all about refinement. It can rock, but it is better with more lyrical pieces. Rest of the system is: Technics SL-1000r with a second arm: Glanz MH-94S Tonearm-cables...
