Technics SL-1200G Versus Continuum Caliburn And SAT Arm

The Sl-1200G review will post shortly. Meantime, here's a comparison between it and the Continuum Caliburn fitted with the SAT arm, both fitted with a Lyra Etna cartridge.

The price differential is "huge". How big is the sonic differential? Watch and listen to the video of course, but also if you want to hear the full resolution 96/24 files, they are embedded below the YouTube video.

The music is "Vanquish" from the percussion group Smoke & Mirrors's Yarlung 45rpm release. As you'll see this is a really mess up pressing but it's a good tracking ability test. A just received pressing was outstanding as are just about every Pallas pressing I've ever gotten (other than this one).

Oh! and for now I'm not identifying which file was which!
