I did make this modification to mine several years ago, but too long ago to tell you what you want to know. In general it seemed worthwhile at the time and the fully modded SL1200 sounded quite good. I was replaced by an SL1200GAE that sounded better, but the difference was not as great as you might think. I definitely would make the upgrade.
Anyone have a fully upgraded KAB 1200?
I'm very close to having a fully upgraded KAB Technics 1200 with only needing some of the power supply upgrades. Basically, i'd need the outboard PS and the strobe disable to call it complete (I did the DC voltage regulator (DC-1200) a while back to prepare for the outboard power supply).
Can anyone can comment on whether or not it was worth it? I'm very happy with the 1200, and this last bit will call it "complete". Reading through forums, I realize that the sonic improvements are not as great as say a tonearm rewire, mat, or tonearm silicon mod. However, it's more of a "why not" type of thing and also as a sense of completion to it.
Cost would be ~$200. Thoughts?
