This might seem odd.
it would seem to be hard to believe that a Technics 1200GAE is an audiophile table, and while not quite as good as my old Goldmund Studios with T3f with its midbass detail and full wave launch ...shockingly it is pretty good, much preferred to a Linn or all VPI takes a back seat to the new Chronos. I want this table to do double duty. Part audiophile and part audiophile DJ. It bears no sonic haze and lack of bass detail and flat midrange soundstage like a regular 1200MKII OR 1210MG5.
I had a Koetsu Rosewood ( in 1987) on a Mitsubishi LT-30 (I still have one of these too) and the Bass was lacking , and mid range was bloated I assume because of a cartridge mismatch to tech table. I ended up using a Monster Cable alpha 2 which I think was a ZXY cart.
I never forgot that Koetsu midrange . I am wondering about the arm match. I certainly will not back cue or scratch, it's just for playback. I do want the ability to swap headshells.
