Due to my finicky L*nn issues I’m thinking about going for a 1200G when funds allow.
Do we think the 2M Black I have on the LP12 would be suitable for the 1200G? It’s a light magnesium arm isn’t it? Am I right in thinking a low capacitance cart would suit?? Light arm stiff suspension isn’t it? Or do I have it backwards??

This may help: 1200G tonearm effective mass of 12g should be fine with the 2M Black's compliance, this online tool on VE gives 8Hz for the resonance: |

Oh good. It’s a fairly new cart so be nice to be able to use it.
I’d have to buy a new pre amp if I were to go MC

Would have thought a half decent MM cartridge would suit a direct drive TT?

I'm not too sure about it curing your distortion issues. The 2M Black has a fine line stylus, and sits deeper in the groove than the conical stylus of your other carts. The 2M Black is a pain in the arse to set up properly, because it has a fine line stylus. Have you tried playing an LP at 45rpm? Does it track OK?

Sorry, only just been this thread (got an internet connection back after remote holidaying the last couple of weeks) - Yes Tim, the 2M Black is a very good match for the 1200G & I use this combination a lot.
It sounds excellent, tracks well & with no discernable distortion. Treble is also very sweet without any of the occasional harshness I used to hear on a Rega or Audiomods arm.
