Does anybody on PFM have a pair of these and actually dabble in a bit of the wheels of steel??
I did, but moved onto Numark CDs instead.
So big thumbs up for the KAB Fluid damper and so far the GR/G, but still not heard anyone who has compared them side by side with an older modded 1210Mk2/5 ?
I’ve got a gyrodec but have the urge to change to a 1200gr. How do they compare?1210 GR here and I am very happy with the deck. I also have a Gyro SE.a
I owned a modded 1210 Mk 2, AO Rega RB 250, great turntable.
I sold it on and changed it for a complete Townshend Rock mk 2 which bettered the techie in nearly every way imo.
The GR feels extremely solid which bearing in mind the older MK 2 didn’t exactly fall apart is reassuring.
Very happy with what I have but I have a itch for a SL1200/1210 G which I don’t think will go away.
Looks greatHere’s my 1200G fitted with the Ammonite armboard, a Jelco TK-850S, Koetsu Urushi Sky Blue, and an Auditorium 23 Hommage mat.
I love it.

You should contact the people from Ammonite Acoustics ( https://ammonite-acoustics.co.uk/ ), who make very high quality arm-boards for the Technics decks. I believe that Hugo from there, has experience with the older decks, and also the new GR/G decks. IIRC he said that the new decks are a big step forwards from the older decks, also he said that the GR is very close in performance as a motor unit to the G.
Your deck looks fantastic. How does the Jelco compare with the stock arm on the 1200G ?Here’s my 1200G fitted with the Ammonite armboard, a Jelco TK-850S, Koetsu Urushi Sky Blue, and an Auditorium 23 Hommage mat.

Erocka, did you choose the mat for looks or sound?
