SL1200GAE New Tonearm

Dear @nkonor: "  The Technics and probably anyone of the great arms out there Will be Game Changers. "

Bad move or wrong way to go because the stock Technics GAE tonearm is a good one so the first step is not what you did it or the OP did too but to re-wire the Technics tonearm and use some other headshells not only builded with different materials and different weigth but with better headshell wires and headshell wires connectors. 

All those can be do it through 1877 as I posted to @billstevenson .

@nkonor, I know that you don't care but you never will know how good  is that Technics tonearm. 

"""  I have always like the TP arms since I first saw them years ago ..""

we don't buy audio items and especially tonearms jus " because I like it ", of course that a choice like that is each one privilege.

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS,

^^ If you want to say stuff, you have to make sense.
You've presented nothing in the way of argument to back your position, just personal attacks and accusations based on nothing. You need to up your game.

I wish someone will put short version of the Reed 3P tonearm on new Technics. Reed is great, but probably unknown in the USA, so people always talking about TriPlanar.   

@atmasphere : Make sense? How the people started to know about change in the stock Technics tonearm for TP and that precisely you was whom made those changes?

Magic?

As I said, you are the only manufacturer that post in this forum and other non-Agon forum everything you make your busineSS when in all those forums is for audiophiles not for sellers as you.

Again, when any one of us took in count that gentlemans that are designers/manufacturers as N.Pass, M.Levinson, J.Carr, D'angostino, Hueber, etc, etc  are promoting in those kind of forums their exceptional products? when? show me. You are the only one.

You are not posting as an audiophile, you always post with an specific agenda , till today I never reported thesen kind of facts to the different forum administrators.

Spiral Groove embraces the same design philosophy as Ralph is espousing. "the bearing interface situated in the same horizontal plane as the stylus resting in the record groove"

https://sme.co.uk/audio/product/series-v/
Likewise with SME’s Type V (which does not use unipivots). "Carried in massive yoke on 10mm ball races. Axis at record mean level to minimise warp-wow."

And although cartridge manufacturers would love for universal-headshell tonearms to become more popular (because that would encourage customers to own more cartridges), many high-quality tonearms, including those mentioned above, do not use removable headshells.

While it is clear that the universal headshell is very convenient for changing cartridges, in terms of mechanical rigidity and the quality of the electrical contacts, it leaves something to be desired.

There are valid reasons supporting either option; there is no need for a specific agenda to be present for someone to have a preference either for or against universal headshell tonearms.
