You have to measure pivot to spindle distance and think about new custom armboard for any toneam you wish to mount instead of the stock arm. Not every arm can be mounted on this turntable.
Tonearm for Technics 1200GR
I’m looking for a medium mass arm to replace the stock arm. Whatever arm is suggested it should have an armboard that can be bought for it as well. I run a Soundsmith Carmen MkII.
Id like to keep the new arm under $1500.
I found a Jelco TK 850s, but it appears to be a high mass arm. I also found a Timestep T-609, but it appears to be a high mass arm as well.

This SME M2-9 would fit the bill. http://smetonearms.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=79 There is a seller on Ebay that sells SME armboard plates for Technics tables! |
Forgive my ignorance here but the SME has a pivot to stylus dimension of 233.2 mm and the techniques has an effective length of 230 mm. Are these names of these dimensions the same thing or do they represent two different dimensions? If they are the same thing I’m assuming the arm board will compensate for this difference. Im I correct? |
