    Technics SL-1800 balance weight alternate

    What, if any, other Technics tonearm weights will fit an 1800? Looks looks the 1200 weight will fit. But since I can't find parts lists for either, I was hoping someone could maybe confirm for me. Thanks,

    What is the best hi-fi tuner ever made?

    I drive a Technics ST-X901L, with an indoor cable antenna and, well, it sounds good. But surely there will be better ones, of higher quality. What are they? Another question, does it make sense to go from the ST-X901L to the ST-X999L. Thank you for your attention.
