Technics 1200GR Owners

I’ve just recently bought a 1200GR, and a Zu Denon 103.  I’d be curious what others think of the table and it’s sound who have had it a while and if there are any suggestions you would like to share to get the best out of it. 

Just for for reference sake my main rig is a VPI Prime with Eagle PSU and Roadrunner tach, two belts with HRX Pulley and Soundsmith Carmen II.

@last_lemming it shouldn't be a problem, just lower the volume, Glanz should be great.

I heard a quintet blue that sounded very good on this table.

Any comments on how the 1200GR compares to your main Prime rig?  I've seen a few people go from a Prime to 1200G so I'd love to know how the GR holds up.

Thx!

I have been a audio dealer for 15 years now. I have not yet come across companies that make a Quality turntable at this price point with the same consistency and reliability as Technics. Most manufacturers have 2 out of 10 tables with some problem or another. When you treat it with the same respect as a high performance table, you will be rewarded with many years of play time in your home rather than at a repair shop. Several cartridges perform very well with this rig. The G Version has more punch and detail with a quieter noise floor. A HRS Record weight helps tremendously.

It's hard for me to compare since each TT is on a different system. B
BUT if I was pressed I'd say the big differences are the Prime has more air and soundstage, and the GR has more punch and presence.
