I think this is October.....
+1 on Caroline Spence, Son Volt, et. al.
Such a cool story about having Heart’s lead guitarist as a neighbor.
I love my SL 1200 and don’t really accept or agree with the many criticisms of it. I think its solid and sounds better than digital. Right now I’m using a LO MC Hana SL with it on my good records and keep a mounted up Ortofon handy by for when I have to put it in 4 wheel drive. One thing to maybe keep in mind is that to be able to use its most excellent VTA dial you must use either a relatively tall cartridge (normal range) or wind up having to shim a short one (like the Hana). I suppose you could also get a thicker mat to make such an adjustment....). Anyway, some really nice results with Audio Technica carts can be achieved. (I’ll probably go back to an AT next). Much is written about these great machines on here and elsewhere. There is a really helpful guy named John on here that has great well proven ideas. I wont list them since you probably have already seen/known them. Also i was going to say that that extra bass you’re experiencing might be the 1200 in relationship to your particular phono stage. I have noticed that phenomenon. Hope you wind up liking it.
