Tonearm for Technics 1200GR
I’m looking for a medium mass arm to replace the stock arm. Whatever arm is suggested it should have an armboard that can be bought for it as well. I run a Soundsmith Carmen MkII.
Id like to keep the new arm under $1500.
I found a Jelco TK 850s, but it appears to be a high mass arm. I also found a Timestep T-609, but it appears to be a high mass arm as well.

@chakster thank you very much for the information, I have a friend who has different tonearms who no longer uses and owns this, if he sells it I could make an offer having several turntables I am finishing up restoring and that are from the same period at the end of the 70's so it would be the ideal to get a full end front end, but I have to figure out if it’s compatible with some of my cartridges. |
@last_lemming - take a look at Audiomods Arms Contact Jeff at Audiomods and he will tell you if his arms are a good match for your TT He has an adapter plate for the Technics SL1210 http://www.audiomods.co.uk/technicsarm.html He will also make small custom mods to accommodate your cartridge compliance if needed. His arms provide stunning improvements in sound quality. Here’s my review of the Classic Arm I purchased for my TT http://image99.net/blog/files/f233eea773cbc47d311b80d32702da48-40.html Audiomods arms outperform many arms costing 2-3 times their price And it’s within your budget Regards - Steve |
Dear @best-groove : The beauty of a removable headshell tonearm design is that you can't have almost no single problem to mate it with ny cartridge because you can have different headshells with different weigth. So don't worry to much about. If you have good tonearm designs and even that the resonance frequency stays out of the frequency range you will listen with very good qulity performance levels, so try not to be " anal " about. Additional you can " tame " the kind of " color " you like with any cartridge when those headshells comes with different build material and even its design shape. Btw, for all of us with removable headshell tonearms ( @last_lemming ) a change in the headshell wires makes a big differences if we change for silver wires that we cn choose from different sources s: Ortofon, Oyaide, Furukawa, Clearaudio. Here great alterntive that I know very well: https://www.zavfino1877.com/analogue-accessories @last_lemming in 1877 you have silver tonearm internal wire that's great up-grade for any tonearm. Regards and enjot the MUSIC NOT DISTORTIONS, R. |
