Try a Herbies mat. It made a huge improvement on my old Music Hall turntable. OTOH, it was horrible on my Linn. Money back if not satisfied. The other thing that might help is a Vibrapod under each foot. May help, may not. Beyond that, I wouldn’t sink any more money into it.
Aftermarket Upgrade Question
I'll start by saying: total newbie here. So I'll take any due critique that comes with this territory.
Simple question, on a starter TT such as my Akai BT500, are there aftermarket upgrades to areas such as tonearm and platter than a semi-handy person like me would be able to perform?
Yeah, I know. Just buy a better table. But I really like the look and if some simple changes to the above mentioned parts could give me an added improvement to my vinyl, I'd look into it. It's also not being powered by a "high end" system.
Thank you in advance!
