Goldmund Studio

Hi All,

I recently picked up a Goldmund Studio table with an SME V arm and a Kiseki Purple Heart cartridge. Two questions for anyone that might want to respond. 

Firstly, I’m interested in doing the spring-to-sorbothane upgrade, but I can’t seem to find any specific info on what type / size sorbothane pucks to use. Ditto for stiffness, as I read above that the sorbothane should consist of 3 different levels of stiffness, just like the OEM springs. 
 

Secondly, wondering if anyone out there has a (late model) Studio polymer sub-chassis kicking around? Long story, but due to a miscommunication by the Seller on what he did to prepare the table for transport, I ended up with a cracked sub-chassis 😑

I’m also looking for a Goldmund Relief Mat. 

Appreciate any thoughts or suggestions. 👍🏻
  

I never owned one but a friend had one with a Rabco SL8E tonearm. It was my unscientific impression that the suspension was under damped. To say nothing of the Lurne’ TT which bounced like a champ if activated. I think more modern designs are superior but this is not to say that you can’t be happy with a Studio.

I bet a high quality motor controller would do as much for it as does sorbothane.

Hey Lewm,

Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll definitely consider that if I get the table back up and running 👍🏻
