I'm tempted to go for a pair of 100R.

I'm pretty sure the SL-10 had a vertical mount option.

Make sure you follow the instructions for setting it up - the arm rest also needs to be just right.

I haven't had any noise in the volume pot. It is sensitive and the remote moves it too far with each button press. The amp is designed to start in triode mode so that's normal. I find triode sound is more tubey and romantic as opposed to ultra-linear with a bit of a sharper edge. I rolled in a...

Picked this up in a MCM shop in Lancaster PA.

I've been buying from Tubedepot but there are a lot of tube sources that folks on here can mention.

Blast from the past, I just got a like on a 2011 post.

I had the 601s around 1983. They sounded great, but my preference at the time was hard rock and they were too polite sounding for that.

In the 70s I listened to WLS Chicago at night from my bedroom in central PA. On one of these:

The noise floor of digital can be too low, kind of an unnatural absence of ambient sound. I also think people build and tweak digital systems as much as they do analog ones. Having said that both are great. We're in a golden age of an analog resurgence and amazing hi-res digital with nearly...

This thread has been remarkably civil - maybe someone should post a "Technics SL-1200MK2 - audiophile grade?" thread and see how that goes :rflmao:

@StepheK recently did a YT video on analog vs digital, being a relative newcomer to analog. She raved about the Abbey Road Studios half-speed mastered Brothers in Arms, so I had to order one. This record (actually two 45RPM records) played through a KT-88 amp are the absolute best rendition of...

Start by replacing the power supply electrolytics and go from there!

I think this amp is an unbeatable value (lots of the local audio guys are violently opposed to subsidizing the CCP, but that's a separate issue as far as I'm concerned). Stephek's mods were to lower the noise floor, provide a safety in case of a bias pot failure, eliminate dumb stuff like...

Someday...

This one is extra-fancy.

This is why they don't make them any bigger lol. I'm a fan of record weights although I never had a record that was warped at the label.
