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.:)

Johnnyb53, The rb 250 is not a unipivot,Have you ever actually seen the reduced resonance from using a puck or similar device like on a scope or with any measurement equipment? A record clamp reduces slippage? In 40+ years of playing records Ive never seen or heard of a record slipping during play. Reduces surface noise? Of course you could always buy a lenco and all these problems go away.

Oregon, your condescending response to Frank is in appropriate. For starters this thread is about upgrades not your favorite turntable and by now most forum readers know how you feel about your lenco. I think there may be a lenco church starting up on another forum and they may be looking for a minister you should apply.

"This "pointing out" of "observations [that] are audio folklore" and that they "should have been put to bed years ago" are the very definition of being the Posting Police."

Thanks for the clarification, I didnt know that was the definition.

Enter "stylus drag" in Google and you'll get 37 screens' worth of returns,

Enter Bogey man you get 883000
But of course you are correct, my apologies

Johnnyb, I dont know of any articles by any responsible writer or technician that supports stylus drag or record slippage having any effect on record playback, mabey you can educate me. Im not policing your post Im simply pointing out your observations are audio folklore that should have been put to bed years ago instead of being perpetuated on the internet.
