I bought a Technics 1200G this year after reading favourable reviews. Now that was a mistake! I put a triplanar arm and Benz LP cartridge on it for good measure. I also have an LP12 with Audio Origami arm and Benz Lp cartridge, and cannot believe I lost all the musicality and "feel" that the LP12 brings to the table. Selling the Technics now, someone will be happy no doubt. I want to hear music, not just sound.
