Is the KAB Fluid Damper worth it if...

james,

it looks like the dayton isolation cones are now $25.19 + shipping for set of 4 if I am not mistaken which product to order.

I will try this since its so much less than the mapleshade

johnny not sure how "less wobbly" isolation cones is better than the technics tt feet alone resting on vibrapods which in turn rest on a butcher block with again the vibrapod also resting underneath the butcher block.

If the cones are not perfectly secure not wobbly, there must be better cones out there (that do not cost an arm and a leg) to replace the tt feet if using cones in the mix is preferred.

Anyone try the mapleshade to see if worth extra $ over the dayton or vibrapod or others?

There are two mapleshade feet v3...one 2 feet high and one 1.5 high

Might be a silly question but does the dampen help lower the noise floor on this tt because i like the sound of the tt but the noise floor even with a nice benz micro ace is too high for this analog newbie but grizzled digital vet!

Thanks

Michael

Is the tonearm dampen something a newbie can install? One that is not mr diy?

Michael

Ps sure wish the technics 1210M5g could use any phono cable you want because the attached one looks cheap! Yeah perhaps can ship to kab but thats a pain! Anyone change out the phono cable?

johnnyb53,

is it easy to replace existing tt feet with the dayton brass cones?

are we talking vibrapods cones or isolators....4 right?

so anyone try what vinylvin did to find a threaded cone to perfectly replace the technics tt feet?

Ok james i bought the butcher block and vibrapods...

It says you can put them under existing feet....think that is good idea or také off tt feet?

Michael

So are vibrapods under a butcherblock and also above the butcher block with the technics feet left on and resting on the vibropods a good isolation setup?

anyone buy the super mat from kabusa? is it better than the stock mat for the 1210m5g?

thanks

Michael

Kevin at kabusa recommended the thicker mat he sells so am gonna try that too!

Kevin was not convinced that changing the headshell is a great idea especially for a newbie so i ain't doing that for now

Any technics tt users try demagnetizer product as final step before record playing?

Alex,

Even if you are right and they are the most important two, would like to figure out whether to upgrade from vibrpods + isolation maple butcher block as a third best upgrade!!

Mike

Anyone compare just using mapleshade heavyfeet tt replace technics versus dayton+ butcher block versus kabusa isonoe feet $175 for four

my concern about the heavyfeet is that it looks rather fragile to rest a tt player upon.....certainly intriguing for something mechanical but less so like a cd player. the heavyfeet over some sort of wooden board resting on its own feet would seem even less sturdy. I may try and then if unhappy could then try under my cd player....money back guarantee from mapleshade so tempting...the isonoe from kabusa does not have a money back guarantee...

The bottom of the heavyfeet is only a small point so not the last word of stability
