Good Carts & Needles for playing Vintage 45's??
I have read a bit about Conical stylus vs. Elliptical stylus for 45's. I think Conical may be Mono and sound a bit better on 45's? Not sure but curious if anyone uses different carts for 45's and LP's and what they have found. 
Kilpsch KG4s or JBL L40s?
So far I must say I am falling in love with them. It would be difficult to remove gear from between them but maybe with some reshuffling it could be done. Either way as of now I am a happy camper enjoying these speakers. If something better finds ... 
Kilpsch KG4s or JBL L40s?
While I can't say I am done with placement my only complaint would be that the bass is a bit tricky to nail down. My ears would like it to be perhaps a bit more "clear" but I realize that my ears are not settled with these yet and my listening roo... 
Kilpsch KG4s or JBL L40s?
I picked up the Klipsch speakers. I didn't get a "deal" but so far I am pleased. I'll have to play with placement but I would describe them as sounding rather "Lush" with nice separation. Bass is good so far. I expected less tightness (not to say ... 
Kilpsch KG4s or JBL L40s?
I'm looking forward to potentially buying these and checking them out tonight. The owner thinks the speakers are from 84. I'll update later. Thanks for the info. This is a slippery slope but every inch you drop sounds better... 
Kilpsch KG4s or JBL L40s?
I have an appointment to hear the KG4s later today. I have read that people run KG4's with SS Marantz and Tube equipment together? My Marantz is late 70's but in great shape. I have read lots of great reviews of the KG4s and many of them warn agai...

I'm hoping to get that same news! He should have my table now. I'm pretty excited to have him work on it. I gather this has been talked about to death but since I'm new to the board... How many people have had the Cardas re-wire and Tonearm Dampen...

Nick,I appreciate the insight but I actually sent the table off to KAB today. If there is a deeper problem I'm assuming he will find it before adding any upgrades etc. I would think the first shop would have noticed a bad motor as well?? Let's hop...

Sounds like a good idea JohnnyB. I decided to send the 1200 off the Kab for the Cardas re-wire & the tonearm dampener as well as have a look over. Look forward to hearing the results.

While I am on the subject maybe I should just send it to KAB? Anyone have experience sending their 1200 in and getting it modded etc?? General price tag for such an adventure?? How much do they charge to install the mods?

That's the problem, I realize not every record is perfect etc. And it is only occasionally that I hear something funky. but now it's like I'm listening and waiting for it. I have always been told that these 1200's are "dead on" and when I look onl...
