Virtually the friend owned until october 2018 3 turntables that sold easily to purchase the SL 1200GR Technics SP 10 MK2 Technics SL 1015 Technics SL 1025 Setting aside the discussion the 1015 and 1025 and talking about the SP10mk2 this was his: http://i64.tinypic.com/2m29n2e.jpg http://i68.tinypic.com/2vcj4nb.jpg He is very happy with the 1200 Gr considers it well built, the quality that is perceived is superb and is very satisfied. He compared the noise produced by the engine of the SP 10 II and that of the 1200GR with a stethoscope (he is a doctor) in his opinion the noise is non-existent on both and this means that they are very very quiet, has alternating the cartridges he possesses on both and not he noticed better differences passing from the SP10 vs 1200 GR while with different arms. Unfortunately, the 1200GR looks too much like the old 1200 and this not everyone can like it but the features that the GR has are a must (different set-ups are possible to adjust the brake and the start for example), however he did not notice any differences listening to a comparison between turntables. Why did you then sell SP 10II after 15 years of happy cohabitation if they sound the equal? Meanwhile, the 1200 GR is a new and innovative project and in the event of failure, the spare parts will be found in the years to come, while for the SP 10II if something breaks, the parts are no longer found and we must be damned to be able to repair it. The reason is all there. But I know that everything is possible to fix repairs so those who want to continue to keep sp 10MK2 can safely do it. |
@lewm listened to both turntables with the stethoscope, said that both very silent engines very similar to each other, indistinguishable. What I was trying to explain is that by moving his cartridges from the SP10II to 1200GR after more auditions he has not noticed substantial differences stating that neither of the two turntables is superior to the other .... then it can be argued that they are very questionable tests if the tonearms do not they are the same, or the cables are not the same, etcetera but this was his thought and I can not discuss his word. Who wants the new product can easily do it, will have a good turntable equal to the SP 10II only much more modern and current. I tried to explain that for SP 10II there are always spare parts, he knows that I restore the Technics (I own 6 in the my private collection and differents spare parts) and in case of problems on his turntable I could help him in case of problems but he did not want to listen to me... he wanted to change turntables without suffering low quality. Sorry for my bad english ... I hope you understood my speech |
