RE: Technics SL-1200G vs Continuum Caliburn & SAT Arm

So, I listen to it on my office system: Modded Celestion SL6S and Peachtree iDecco. Yes, it is a desk top system and not my reference but in near field it does a very good job and much better than most desk top systems.

Anyway, I'm sticking to what I posted earlier. The second sample, to my ears, is more enjoyable. I get a better sense of depth and width, as well as, it presents the instruments in a more organic manner. The first sample is more sterile, a bit harder sounding and over all less enjoyable.

The difference to these ears is not subtle and would justify preferring one over the other every time.

Now whether I picked the Coliburn or the 1200 is a different matter. I think the second is the Coliburn, as I think I could hear slight speed inconsistencies and pitch wavering. However, that did not change my preference for the second sample.

If I have it backwards, well, Mike should sell his Coliburn and buy the 1200. At least for playing back this track.
