To make a short story, I bought the fairly new 1200gr ,having an old 1200mk2 hoping this would be a step up .
And it was (kind of) , starting with the usual tweaks ( new silver litz tonearm wire from zavfino , furutech next gen silver rca ) that did wonders on the mk2 .. here not so much. Hearing resonance at different frequencies first at low 50-60 hz, mending that with new feet ( spring suspension) . Next up I have some slight ringing around 300 hz occurring mostly after snaredrum and some tom sounds.. the quest begun, it turns out that the new pivot technics made for the gr is in some polymer that resonate some frequencies as did the aluminium in the tube .
Google is your friend ...
( tonearm upgrade 1200gr)
Found Jeff in late Feb the rest is history!
Cartridge is ZYX ultimate 4D
And my old moon lp 5.3rs with external power supply (again)
Oyaide 910 xlr
ARC line stage
Shunyata alpha xlr
Michi s5
Chord signature xl spkr cables
Dynaudio contour 60 speakers
I bought the zyx last year as a Xmas gift to myself and it sounded okay , now it's shining .
This is my first audiomods arm not my last . Paid around £1100 that would be some $1500-1600 not knowing the exact rate, PayPal took care of that..
I'm a very happy camper right now, those 12 inch plastic discs never sounded better !!
