Anyone using one of these on a Technics 1200G turntable? I am thinking of buying one but it doesn't seem that anyone has one on a Technics. I am considering either the 78 rpm or vinyl versions.Thanks!
Thanks for the suggestion but that is a very different turntable from what I have. I think he uses a Sorane arm with it. I am sure it sounds fantastic though!
Your turntable and tonearm designed for higher compliance cartridges, definitely NOT optimal for low compliance mono Miyajima, because Technics tonearm mass is not high enough. You could try superheavy headshell and subweight to compensate.
I have a heavy headshell, counterweight and even a KAB fluid damper on the table. I think it would PROBABLY work fine but would feel better about making the purchase if I could hear from someone who is actually using this cartridge with a Technics 1200G. A serious investment for me so I am trying to get more information.
I have seriously considered buying a Miyajima Zero Mono for my 1200GAE (functional equivalent to the G). Soundsmith makes a set of mounting hardware that you can buy from Music Direct (among others) that would allow adding weight to the headshell. I am confident that this cartridge would work fine in this arm. My hesitancy is simply the high price of the Zero Mono, not that it could not be made to work.
