Most popular TT upgrades: skeptical but curious...


1. DeepGroove subplatter.
2. Subplatter ball.
3. Acrylic platter.
4. Michell Techno Weight
5. Plinth legs/pucks/cones etc.
6. Various record clamps and weights.
***************************************
1. To remedy speed instability, otherwise useless?
2. Unless original is worn-defective, why bother?
3. Curious to hear if it makes sound better?
4. Baffled. How swapping metal bolts at the end of the arm affects the sound? What are the physics behind it?
5. May be helping to level the table, otherwise useless?
6. Clamps. They seem to do exact opposite of what TT mat suppose to do. Why clamps?

I am not trying to start an argument for the sake of argument. I am interested in improving my Rega P3 as much as other guy. I am just one of those people who needs to know the method behind the madness before plunging.:)

Are you saying that by replacing the power cord you changed the sound of your TT?
Here is a thought about record mats and clamps. Only use clamp or solid material mat (vinyl, acrylic, kryptonite) if your table is reference range quiet . I mean your bearing and motor and spindle and belt etc., etc. are all silent.
Coupling record to solid surface with some extra down force (from clamps)would, IMHO , only increase noise coming from the table drive gear.

I could not find a good picture of :TWL's Hi Fi Mod.
I appreciate if anyone has a link to pictures.

Thanks.
