I have both and prefer the DL-103R. I may buy the 301 MkII next to see how I like it on the delihaus modded stock arm.

Ooh- the 301 II would be nice!

Awesome! Since I have to disassemble the TT to change arms again, I am going to have the base painted at that time. Hmmmnnn....what color, what color???? :scratch2:
red!
tried to edit this so that the word "red" would be in all caps and the board wont let me? wonder why???

Do it quick, Mark!
My vote is a harvest dust gold, deep Rich burnt orange/copper, dark British racing green, or dusty pale green/silver.
Of course, a nice metallic charcoal or metallic black always looks sweet....

Good suggestions! I guess it will come down to which arm I keep on it permanently; the Delihaus modded stocker or one of the two Sumiko's.
I really dig the idea of British Racing Green. It would look good with either of the arms. The auto body shop can do the rubber base as well by applying the flex additive they use for plastic bumpers, etc. What do think of that?

I came across this web site the other day - strange looking blue SL1200 - what do you all think?

No affiliation to that site of course.
Just me but some of those mods are a little overpriced...

Periphery outer ring clamp
I recently purchased a periphery outer ring from TTweights - this particular ring is perfect for any Technics 1200 series tables.
Extremely well made, however, a little on the light side weighing in at 240g (1/2 lb). It flattened most records with the exception of the thicker variety.
I decided to give it some more heft and glued on some brass fittings - 153 of them to be exact. Each one was filled with tiny lead shots.
The combined weight of the brass + lead came out to approx. 255g.
The ring now performs beautifully and weighs in at around 1lb.

That looks really cool, but aren't you worried about all that extra weight taking its toll on the turntable?
Thanks much. I happen to use a CA 640P as well, although mine is stock. How was the gain in its stock form (if you tried it like that) with the 103R? Decent match? I'm intrigued by the idea of a CineMag SUT in the future but wondered what I could expect without.

Higher gain for the DL-103R at equal volume setting.
