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.:)

It's healthy to be skeptical. Why buy a table- and need another platter, bearing for the spindle, pucks, weights, clamps, mats, stands, custom stands and more isolation stands that go under the other two?
All you have to do is buy a Lenco, take it apart, clean it, oil, a dab of grease, adjust the spindle shaft, and, don't forget to place the table in a ply layered plinth.
Shizam!!! You have an excellent idler wheel, vintage table that never needs to be tweaked again. (Because it's so easy, one might be tempted to try a different cartridge).
The only hard part is NOT buying more and more LPS.

Yes. That's all.
Less than a days "work".
A master woodworker builds my plinths.
Once a table is complete, it will serve a lifetime playing incredible, dynamic music from the darkest lows to sparkling highs.
I have been through it a dozen times.
The walk through the park is glorious.
I doubt you'll ever know.

Rccc,
How is it he can respond to my post, but I can't do the same to his?
Are you the self appointed minister of this post?
LOL

BTW, I agree, it is (in) appropriate.
