RE: Talked with Kevin at KAB today

I'm surprised Kevin said the wiring in the SL-1200G is less than optimal. I would have thought Technics would use high quality wire in their newest turntable. Did Kevin mention any specifics as to why a brand new Technics turntable needed to have its tonearm wire replaced?

Also, did Kevin suggest incorporating his tonearm damping system? As a mechanical engineer, that is the first modification I would recommend. I wouldn't drive a car that didn't have shock absorbers and I wouldn't want a tonearm that didn't have silicone fluid motion damping. In fact, if I remember correctly, the silicone fluid damping system for Technics tonearms is Kevin's own design so I'm wondering why he wouldn't be the first to recommend it. Did he talk about it at all?

Thanks!
