Good Rule: Just saw the RCA comparison video and appreciate your videos and attention to detail. I trust your opinion and can't wait to see the pitch calibration video. QQ: what guage cable did you use for the ground replacement? Soldering the ground, as seen in other videos, seemed like a good idea; until you made that comment of adding more noise to the line. So glad I saw this video mate, cheers. Also, what are your thoughts on those Mod Boxes where you can connect RCAs and ground to; any compromise to the sound using these boxes? Recently took out the twintables and want to mod a few things while DJing holiday parties for family..

Sorry I have already asked the question but this one seems more related to this video, so I allow myself to ask it again ; . I've got an old turntable from Technics model SL-B202 on which I want to replace the old original RCA cable whose leads are directly soldered to the terminals inside the unit as well. To this end, I bought high-end brand new QED RCA cables ; so far so good, but problem when I cut both cables I noticed that are not two (as 'traditionally' and as in your video ) but three separate wires in each cable sheath. Any idea how can I connect i.e. solder these 6 wires to the four-terminal circuit board of the turntable ? Many thanks in advance, Cheers from France

Thank you for posting this. For years, my dad could never figure out why his 1200MK2 always had a loud hum. After watching this video, I opened it up and discovered the self ground mod was performed and 2 of the tonearm wires were solder bridged which caused the grounds of the phono leads to have a short circuit. The noise is gone and he couldn't have been happier.

13:43, before putting the cover back on, always set the arm base height all the way up to 6+ . This will ensure that you leave enough wire slack inside the arm cavity for the arm base to go up and down through it's full range.

Hi from Australia. Why people do this is just ridiculous. Yes a ground cable is a pain if it breaks but these decks were made for audiophiles and DJs like myself......I'm 63 but I lie about my age because I can. I use a stock 1200 as my play only turntable and it is fitted with an Ortofon Black cartridge with a nude Shibata stylus. It sounds spectacular. The solution for this problem is in the new releases. You get RCA sockets and a ground spade lug and an IEE power socket so if they wear out, you buy new ones. Cheers Andrew Collins Melbourne Victoria Australia.

I happened to have a Pio DJM800 mixer schematics on my desktop. Approx 15y ago i modded my SL1200MK2 (actually i just connected the ground into the plug at the end). Now on the Pio schematics i see exactly that the minuses coming from the phono input are connected together and directly to the ground. So for a DJ mixer setup the real difference is what happens to the cable along that 1-1,5 m, might not be any kind of dealbreaker unless lot of interference and current in cables is around (but that would be an issue anyway).

I like that you remove the internal ground mod. You did explain it very nicely. I say to the customers, that the Technics engineers who thought out this deck were much smarter then we, and i don't think that there is not that much we could do better :). What i don't like that much is, that you didn't remove the old solder blobs on the pcb,i see that you have a desoldering gun, so an easy job, the tip of the solder iron, i really would suggest a chisel tip for this kind of work. The heat transfer is much faster and better and the audio cables. These chineese cheap cables are more designed for a line signal, not phono signal... due to their capacitance. The original ones are still able to get. But.. was it really in 2:22 when you flipped the turntable the whole weight on the tonearm ? :). I don't want to criticize you, just some thoughts from a colleague :).
@DJlegionuk
@DJlegionuk 5 жыл бұрын
Hi, so yes I know I put a bit too much weight on the deck when I flipped it over, Not much I can do about that. I was more concerned with the filming aspect at the time and I do regret it. I have taken on a lot of the comments and feedback especially the cleaning of the PCB and I do this on every deck I look at. I also have way better equipment and use a ts100 with a chisel tip for most of my work. I clean with flux and solder braid then clean ipa before applying new solder. I could even clean and use my ultrasonic bath if it was worth the time it takes to heat up. I have a question for you, with regards to the capacitance of the leads is this something I can test with my LCR meter ?
3 жыл бұрын
I cringed a bit on that 'flip'..he could have flipped it with the other side going down first.. but it appears he really didn't express that much weight on that side. Hard to tell on camera. Good points about the soldering - and the cables. He mentions the problem with beefier cables (larger diameter , gold ends which I went with) but at expense of the clip but I used ties to keep the larger cables in place so voila, no shifting problems. I only did the cable upgrade to my modified 1200 that I do archival work with so I'm not gigging it or carrying it around anywhere. Stays in one spot. The capacitance of these new cables are optimum and compliment the AT150MLX stylus I use.

Hi there! First of all i wanted to say that i absolutely love your videos! Detailed and easy to undestand. I am texting you with a problem i have encountered and i cannot understand from where it comes. Recently i bought Technics sl1210 km2 with changed RCA, and later on i realized that one of the channels is louder than the other. Probably around 3,4 db. I noticed that while i was recording a set at home and saw that one of the channels was hitting lower that the other. I cross checked it with the master output from the mixer where it could also be seen that one of the led goes higher than the other. Just to make sure i opened ableton and run a plugin from Ozone, Imager and the signal tend to go to the left rather than stay in the middle. So until now i tried cleaning the tonearm tips as well as the catridge (nothing changed) i switched needles , mixer channels evetything basically and always one of the channels is louder. Then i ran a conductivity test with a multi meter and everything went fine there. So now i am lost and i dont know what to anymore. It appears like there is some resistence than fucks up one of the signals. Have you ever encountered something similar or have any idea of what can be the cause? Every small answer will be appreciated! Regards Grigor

Whether a ground mod causes issues really depends on what you're plugging it into. A lot of gear ties the RCA negative to ground right at the input anyway, so when you do the ground mod you're not really changing much--you're just moving the point where the two things are connected. I'm pretty sure basically all DJ mixers are this way. However, I'm certain that there are pocket preamps, or computer audio interfaces, or stereo receivers out there that run off of an isolated power supply or uses capacitive coupling, and that means that when you do this "ground mod" you are now connecting the tonearm body to something that isn't actually ground and thus you are no longer shielding the sensitive signal wires from the interference generated by the motor. You're absolutely right that it can cause issues and I personally would never do it because the convenience isn't worth it, but I don't think it can cause ground *loops*, as there isn't actually a loop created. I might be missing something though. One thing that I am curious about is whether you could replace that ground connection with a connection to mains earth via a grounded plug (I think there are turntables out there that do this from the factory). I don't know if anyone has tried it and I haven't thought it through but it seems like it might work. I suspect the turntable ground wire is an artifact of a time when companies were hesitant to make their product require a grounded outlet.

I recently started working with a local hire company and they have all 1210 models fitted with RCA mods and internally grounded. I talked at length with him about this and he says he never has ground loop problems and was happy to continue to use the internal ground mod of the RCA plate. I just wonder if they could use some new ISO transformer or something to earth via the mains and not introduce any hum, but why bother when a simple wire will do the trick. I have wondered if I can setup some test, but I also never had a ground loop at my workshop when I have so much stuff plugged in.
@rfmerrill
@rfmerrill 4 жыл бұрын
I don't think hum would be an issue. If you were "grounding" it to the neutral wire, then yes it could be as the neutral sits slightly above ground potential and its voltage is going to vary at 50/60 Hz. If you grounded the tonearm to mains earth, but still had the cartridge and such separate from that, there wouldn't be a ground loop either because the two aren't connected.

I have used ground mod technics as my hire stock for years and unless it is specified from an operational perspective and with the difference be so slight i think mod is a good way to go for clubs with change overs and hire stock for ease. If ground wire goes then the deck needs service down time . Ive seen many ground wires snapped just from not being put in flight case correctly, so i think payoff unless rider specific is acceptable- at home / studio or fixed decks in nightclubs i advise the ground wire.

I went ahead and did an internal grounding of one of my 1200's that I do strictly Archival work with. I based it off a Hitachi Direct Drive turntable I own that does an internal grounding right from the factory (early 80s) . It solidifed the notion of it being possible and without any added noise at all.. and on paper and with ears there is nothing introduced. I do have it plugged into a Mackie phono firewire mixer - but I do agree some older equipment or certain pre-amps built into some receivers could cause problems. I have never experimented with that as I have my own solution. Great comment!

I've got a 1200 that I've owned since the 1980's (had 2 at one point but sold one to a buddy). The ground wire in parallel with the signal cable has always bothered me from an aesthetic perspective. I noticed that the AC cable on the unit in the video had a 3-prong connector, so I'm wondering if you could connect the "Earth" point on the turntable to the Earth conductor in the AC cable and eliminate the single ground wire that parallels the signal cable.

could I ask you about the counterweight. Can this become defective? There are two-dials 1) the entire weight itself by turning from the back, you can twist it either closer or further from you and 2) the black numeric dial on the front part which you turn to adjust the tracking force weight. Okay, well, I balanced the tone arm and am now at the stage of setting the tracking force, which according to my cartridge specs requires 1.9. So I turn it to that, BUT the tonearm doesn't seems to want to go down? As if turning the front part of the weight didn't do anything or shift the weight at all. I removed the entire counterweight from the arm and examined it by turning the front dial only, and looking closely if that dial would move like on a threaded bolt. But it doesn't seem to move, It's like it just turns in one place. Is it suppose to do this? Please advise.

Thanks for this fine and verye informative video. I´ve been having this problem for a while now and haven´t used my beloved 1210 cause i thought it might cost a fortune to fix it. But with this video i think and hope that i can have it up an playing again soon, even though i´m not electrician.

Nice vid. I'm searching for an imbalance issue with my 1200's. Just tried the antiskate test and it's barely doing anything. Don't know if that's likely to be the cause though.

So I'm hoping someone on here can help me out! I have an older Panasonic record player/receiver that worked fine, I pulled the RCA speakers out and plugged new ones in while it was powered on (like an idiot) and it popped and no longer works. Does anyone know what I can do to fix it?

Thanks, we have a 1200 ltd gold that may need rewire so happy to now do this ourselves. Can you name some of the tools, identified Stanley table clamp what about the auto wire cutters that looks like a fatmax but could be something else. etc.

Jan Plexy no it wasn't, the sponge kept the arm totally free of any pressure.

Yes, it was. Especially that thin. The sponge still allows pressure to travel. It's just more gentle to the surfaces (for scratches, etc). Imagine yourself below a sponge of a thickness you prefer and a car on top of it! Will you be kept totally free of any pressure? This is a common mistake most people do. They put a pillow below the deck and they THINK that the tone arm is safe. It is not. That's why this guy put an EXTRA sponge to the CENTER of the deck, to rise it so that the tonearm is actually floating. He did have that unfortunate moment though!

Hi I’m curious to know , when rca plugs go bad is it necessary to change the rca wire along with the rca plugs or can you cut the old rca plugs and solder better quality rca plugs and not replace the old rca cable ?

you can do what ever you want, I just find unless you use something like neutrik they don't last very long and pull apart.

You rarely ever need to change the whole wire out . Find some really good plugs and just switch out the plugs ! 👍

You should have taken a weight off before you move it about, Anybody transporting your turntable you have to take the weight off the back and maybe the platter if it's a heavyweight platter, Your cause damage to the arm bearings.

That was great. I enjoy your explanations, they are clear and concise enough for me to believe I can make these repairs myself. Ok, Monkey see, Monkey do. But I can’t gain your knowledge of electronics without some college learning though? So I won’t delude myself, and I’ll just watch and enjoy. Thank you.

What a wonderful and helpful video. So it looks like you highly recommend not doing a mod that integrates the ground into the RCA cables.

So... the two outer lines, next to the left and right channels, are the cable's shielding? Are there cables with seperated shielding and and extra ground wire inside? Thanks for the video. Cheers!
