I’m guessing rather spendy
I’ll be sticking with my LP12 as I don’t spin as much vinyl as I used to.

Certainly a lot cheaper than the SL-1000R, that’s a deck I'd love, have to go some to show a clean pair of heels to a 1200G though.That’s not too bad

I bought a 1200GR for the office at an office supplies auction, put a stupid bid in and won a BNIB GR, result. I liked it so much I bought the 1200G to go in the main system next to a Gyro.
Briefly when the G arrived but not in any meaningful "reviewer speak" way. I do flip mats, shells and carts around, lockdown gave me plenty time to mess, G is in lounge, GR is spare room/office over the hallway. I have pics of both rigs on the System Pics threads.Have you compared them side by side? I've had a GR for the last couple of years and still cannot believe how good it is. Still wondering about saving up for a G.
Weirdly...yes to both! But I think the clincher (if I'm honest) is that competing with TV, radio streams and my CD collection, I don't listen to vinyl anything like as much.If you have perfect pitch and listen to a lot of acoustic and piano music the G might give you an edge...
I still think my GR can sound a little flat and lifeless, probably too neutral as before I had suspended belt drives that added a little something. So I do miss that for sure, some people would say not as 'musical'. However, I often find with things described as 'musical' that they often only play well with certain genre's, but not all. As I play all types but mainly Jazz, Funk and Electronica on vinyl I think I will stay put. Any thoughts on how to breath a little more life into would be welcome though.
I have tried a cork, acrylic, felt (LP12) and original rubber mat and none make a big difference IMO. Acrylic probably the most difference actually.
I currently use an AT 100E cartridge, the stylus looks fine, I have had it from new and changed the stylus a few times but have no idea of the hours on it, probably about 400. So would be willing to try a new cartridge.

In my opinion the 1200G is in a league of it's own , Superb build quality , Rock solid performance
Next up was the 1210 fitted with a Mike New bearing and ETP platter I built with a timestep external power supply , fitted with a Origin Live encounter MK3c arm and a sheter 5000 cart
Then the 2 std 1200 / 1210
Was the 1200G better than the modded 1210 ?
2.5 years with the G, wouldn't consider any other deck nowadays. I've had a Gyro, LP12, PT Export and finally a PT Anniversary, the 1200 wipes the floor with all of them. You really can't go wrong with one.
