KAB TD-1200™
TONEARM FLUID DAMPER FOR
Technics SL1200/1210 MK2, 3,5 & M5G*
All hi quality tonearms use fluid damping. Now your Technics can have this desirable feature. The TD-1200 consists of a precision machined trough, tonearm paddle, and special Silicone fluid. Installs easily in minutes. (Click on picture for detailed photo display)
The paddle rides in the fluid controlling sudden movements of the arm. It also helps suppress sound vibration within the tonearm tube. Improves tracking on warps, and tracing of minute details. You will hear better bass and clearer vocals. Works great at all speeds including 78 RPM. True worldclass performance.
* For the M5G and GLD models, you must first remove the lateral weight adjuster. To do that, loosen the small philips set screw on the back of the gimbal pillar, and turn the adjuster all the way out and remove. re tighten the set screw.

SPECIFICATIONS
|
All hi end tonearms use fluid damping. The idea is very old and very good. If records were perfectly flat and bearings had absolute zero clearance, you might not need fluid damping to achieve the best record playback... but their not, they don't, and we do! All the time the needle is trying to trace the fine groove, the tonearm is bouncing, wavering and vibrating. Basically "over reacting " to imperfections in the record's surface. By fluid damping the arm, we " control " those wayward movements better. The needle is less affected and is able to concentrate more on tracing the groove. The result is more detail and focus.

GREAT FEATURES
|
The really great features to take note of with the KAB TD-1200 Tonearm Fluid Damper are the improved sonics and tonearm response. The tonearm handles better under manual cueing. The needle tracks warps without ever leaving the surface, even at 78 RPM. Tracking of shallow groove records like vintage Pathes, is no longer a nightmare. Many repeat skips will now continue unabridged. In use, the damping is attenuating the low frequency "arm - cartridge " resonance. This lets the arm mate with a wider array of cartridges while providing consistent bass performance. Audiophile's, take note of this insightful review. Click Here DJ's take note that the TD-1200 will improve performance during back scratching and is a kinder gentler approach to this technique than underhung straight tonearms which cause undue record wear and produce large amounts of THD. The fluid is exposed so it is best used in studio set ups. DJ's, take note of this insightful review. Click Here |
