In Reply to: RE: REVIEW: Technics by Panasonic KAB SL-1200Mk.II Turntables posted by Kristian on March 24, 2015 at 07:54:10:
I own two turntables. One is a fifteen thousand dollar Sota Millennia Vacuum with SME V and the other is a KAB modified SL-1200 Mk2 with Applied Fidelity platter bearing. I agree wholeheartedly with your assessment of the modified Technics SL-1200. I have compared both using the same cartridge and phono stage, and the SL-1200 sounds remarkably similar to the Sota. There is no question that the Sota/SME sounds a little better because of a lower noise floor and slightly greater transparency, but for the difference in price, the SL-1200 is quite amazing. I could easily live with the sound of my SL-1200 without ever wanting more.
Best regards,
John Elison
