Why Isnt Techincs 1200 Considered Audiophile?

Have not read the entire thread yet. Just arrived home with my new modded Technics SL1200G ( Thanks Ralph and Tri) with Triplanar tonearm and Lyra Kleos mounted. Very tired after a long drive. Will set it up in the morning.

Can hardly wait!!!

Since I have setup my Technics this morning and have listened to a couple of records. IMO; Ralph is being modest when he says that he has gotten excellent results.

The results are astonding. I have heard the stock. It is a good TT and dare I say it; A good value.

Setup with a good tonearm and cartridge; I think that A Lot of the other TT makers should be starting to Sweat. And I will say it again. I consider that I now have a Great Value compared to other TTs in this price range and above.

 I need to go do some errands right now. Just going to let the system cook with a CD on repeat and try to finish my errands Quickly!!!

fastdart69;chakster,

Both are correct. 

The Audiophile community now has a brand new HighEnd TT at a Bargain / Value price. Many will be modding with a HighEnd tonearm and get the most out of the cartridge of their choice.

The SQ that I am getting from this rig is astounding. I consider that I got it at a bargain price and have superior value.  IMHO.
