Is this about the G/GR editions or every edition 1200/1210 ?
One of the Technics advantages are the head-shell for easy change of cartridge.
I am referring to the previous versions.

Exactly what I did. The Rega deck is just a board with a superb arm.probably a 1200/1210 + Rega arm would be the best of the two worlds....

I disagree I have tried both on my SL1200 mk2 and IMHO I think that the stock arm rewired internally with Cardas wire and externally with Klotz MC5000 makes both the RB300 and RB250 arms sound sterileExactly what I did. The Rega deck is just a board with a superb arm.
Here you have a superb turntable with a superb arm.

Rewiring the stock arm as long as it has good bearings is the best way to go IMO

I’m not a hardcore “cables don’t matter” person, but the cabling can’t more significant than an arm’s entire engineering/construction, can it? Am I missing something?
Thanks
The arm on the G lift/lower mech has a much nicer feel and operation than the one on the cheaper decks. It’s the only minor thing I dislike on my GR.I personally find the lift lever in the stock Technics arm not as good.
I tried that with an RB301. Not much in it. An Ekos, on the other hand...
So do my premotec motor and my Ittok and my hinges and the lid and the plinth etc. and they are a few years older still. I have changed the oil a couple of times though and have just bought a blue belt for 25 quid. LP12s don’t have to be money pits. People are.I think my 1210 brought in 1993 was £300.Nothings changed except cartridges and have a AT 95 ML which works very nicely.
It still works flawlessly 31 years later.
No, as a generalisation it surely doesn't work.I’m not a hardcore “cables don’t matter” person, but the cabling can’t more significant than an arm’s entire engineering/construction, can it? Am I missing something?

It still works flawlessly 31 years later and unlike my LP12 hasn't been a money pit.
Their both lovely decks.LP12 does trump it but so it should at Akurate spec.
Your supertrac on the 1210 looked awesome and probably sounded fab
