Technics 1200GR Owners

I have been a audio dealer for 15 years now. I have not yet come across companies that make a Quality turntable at this price point with the same consistency and reliability as Technics. Most manufacturers have 2 out of 10 tables with some problem or another. When you treat it with the same respect as a high performance table, you will be rewarded with many years of play time in your home rather than at a repair shop. Several cartridges perform very well with this rig. The G Version has more punch and detail with a quieter noise floor. A HRS Record weight helps tremendously. 

"Any comments on how the 1200GR compares to your main Prime rig? I've seen a few people go from a Prime to 1200G so I'd love to know how the GR holds up." 

It's hard for me to compare since each TT is on a different system. B
BUT if I was pressed I'd say the big differences are the Prime has more air and soundstage, and the GR has more punch and presence. 

So I got the Glanz MFG 610LX up and running today. Thanks Chakster for the recommendation. Less than an hour, but so far very impressed. Sounds very natural. 

+2 Hours in to new Glanz - HOLY CRAP this thing sounds good!!!

Nice, if this beast is on the same level as my older and rarer Glanz MFG-61 it must be one of the best cartridges ever (on MM/MI/MF territory). I hope the damper is fine on your sample, i wonder how many samples that Japanese guy own (lol).
