Using a clamp would worry me as noted above it pulls the spindle upward where there is minimal support, logically chance of damage exists if excessive force is used.

TECHNICS KN1200 WEIGHTED PLUS

In the decade plus of ownership, I've had no issues with my spindle bearing getting noisy or wearing out. I oil my spindle bearing using KAB's recommended oil approx every 100 hours of play time. With the wax "spacer" mod, additional weight of the spindle bearing and housing is better supported when coupled to the baseplate. This directs platter and other acoustic noise down the spingle to the base not so much up the cart and tonearm. My spindle has the upgraded KAB wax material under the spindle bearing housing, coupling it to the base plate. I personally own a M5G and use the extra thick OEM mat and a 3/4 pound (approx 360 gram) pound spindle weight. It sounds the best on the previous generation Techie 1200 /1210 up to the Mk7 model. I recommend the Technics 1200/1210 extra thick mat sold by KAB USA.

TECHNICS KN1200 WEIGHTED UPGRADE

Micro Seiki mat is not only a huge upgrade for powerfull direct drives, but it make any DD turntable looks like a luxury unit. As for the record weight the Micro ST-10 (gunmetal disc stabilizer is perfect for Technics SL1200G). The cheaper alternative is SAEC SS-300 mat. I missed the point that OP has "G" model, but "GR" model does not have a brass platter (this is where technics cut the price) and adding a Micro Seiki CU-180 is reasonable.

I think gunmetal is much more expensive than brass. Same about their Record Weight like the ST-10 and clamps like the ST-20. Top of the line Micro Seiki platters are made of gunmetal. Gunmetal, also known as Red Brass in the United States, is a type of Bronce - and alloy of Copper, Tin, and Zinc. Micro Seiki platter mats (CU-180 and CU-500) are made of Gunmetal. But don't forget that Technics platter on GAE and SP-10R is made of brass metal. This is the only way to find out what is the best for our systems. Some guys swear by VPI aluminum platters, Some Delrin platters. Do you really want a metal mat? Even if its copper. Hope this helps and Best to All on Your Think about things and use Your Ears. Yes, its Spendy, 2850 euros.Īlso, if you want to carry this flattening business further, you can get an outer ring (keep in mind, 1 lb weight limit) Their is a company, again Germany that makes an outer ring specially for the SL1200G. The AFI Flat is out in a new improved model. Watch your tonearm carefully while playing a record that is flat, but has some of these waves. Just try an old MoFi UHQR or one of the new UD1S records or anyone of your really flat records. No doubt in my mind, that Flat records play and sound Better. Relieving the stresses introduced during the pressing process. It has a RELAX cycle that, anneals the record at lower temps. This is why, I am saving my "nickles" for an AFI Flat, made in Germany. Excessive weight or clamping has its own problems. Even though most of my records are relatively flat, I again agree that 95% have some kind of wave, for lack of a better description, that requires some kind of weight or clamp.

What I do agree with chakster and others about, is the record being Flat and making Full contact with whatever mat or platter you decide to use (use your ears). This speed control and the Triplanar tonearm allow the Kleos to perform at a level not achieved with either my Ekos tonearm or Kuzma 12" VTA tonearm. The speed control of the Technics surpasses my LP12 and my Kuzma TTs. This combo along with the Lyra Kleos cartridge has turned out better than I hoped or imagined it would. I am happy with the Technics 1200G modded with the Triplanar, the Oracle Hard Acrylic mat and the HRS 315 gram record weight.

( he was using one of the MoFi weights that morning ) He told me that the table should be used with 1LB record weight ( Max a very knowledgeable guy, no doubt. ( the best of all tried ) I tried my Sota Reflex clamp, the Brass record weight from my Kuzma TT, A MoFi record weight ( much like the HRS 315 gram ) that I finally settled on. Finally received the Oracle Hard Acrylic platter mat. I have tried the stock mat and 4 or 5 others.

I did send my SL1200G directly to atmasphere (Ralph) and had him mod it with a Triplanar Classic SE tonearm. I have addressed this in another Technics SL1200G thread.
