Anyone replace the power cord on 1200G?

The overhang gauge supplied by technics was close to an 1/8 inch extended beyond the stevenson protractor from mint lp.  The difference was easily heard.  Tried baerwald and did not like it as much. Maybe Mint alignment is off but I doubt it.  Sounds much better now.

@tzh21y You're like a broken record. Who cares about Mint's Stevenson? Technics has a proprietary Japanese alignment. Of course it will not match to the Stevenson A. But why should it? And how is it off or wrong? Technics' gauge will allow you to alight the cartridge to Technics' proprietary Japanese alignment, which is similar to Stevenson A, but slightly different. Tonearm was designed for this special alignment.

Now of course you can allign the cartridge to a standard Stevenson A, or Lofgren A, or Lofgren B because of the slotted headshell, but that's just you deviating from what the tonearm was designed for. 

You shouldn't spread false information that Technics' gauge is off. It's actually absolutely perfectly right on to the Technics' chosen alignment.

A pseudo stevenson alignment?  whats that?

Explain this special Japanese alignment.  The mint sounds better to these ears.

@tzh21y It's a proprietary Technics  alignment, that just like Stevenson, it favors inner groove distortion. It's actually very close to Stevenson, but not exact.

If you prefer the standard Stevenson A, that's perfectly fine. I prefer Lofgren A, or B myself.

Just don't knock the Technics' gauge. It's not off, nor is it wrong. Just an alignment Technics' engineers like and designed the table/tonearm for.
