I have about 25 hours on a 1200M5G that I got from KABUSA w/Goldring1042 cart -Technics HS. Since KAB has been out of the Fluid dampers for awhile I have been able to get a good idea of the sound without damper. Kevin emailed me yesterday to let me know that the dampers will be in very soon so I am looking forward to trying it out.
BTW- I am fairly impressed with the Gring 1042 cart /Technics synergy in my system. It has been very open and revealing without being bright- the freq range is much broader than I am used to. The vocals make me keep playing just one more album. I have to thank Kevin-KAB for convincing me too spend just a few more bucks to get a pretty special cartridge.
If you are thinking of purchasing one of these tables, my experience has been that the extra service you get from KABUSA to go along with the goldmine of information you get from Kevin is one of the biggest bargains in analog today.
Don't forget to thank the dj's for making it all possible!
