Tried removing the lid completely instead of just leaving it up during play and background improves somewhat but doesn't solve the the whole problem. Motor is separate from the the plynth. Good quality stand on carpet over concrete so that shouldn't pose an issue. Interested in the Funk article jwr159 spoke of and will take a minute to check that out.
Tonearm resonance
Always have had an issue with tonearm noise. I can't afford the the to spend a fortune on a turtable but I just love the sound of vinyl. I have an MMF 7.3 with the stock tonearm and ortofon bronze cartridge which I'm planning to upgrade to a Hana EL most likely. Anyway, I just saw Funk Firm decouplers online the other day and am curious as to whether it is effective or not. If anyone has had experience with it I would love to hear about it. Thanks

@johnnybwood I was thinking that this sounds like something is not gelling. So I checked out the Stereophile review (I’m not a reviewer fanboy) just to get an idea of their opinion. Long story short, the reviewer hated the Ortofon 2M Bronze on this table and requested a different cartridge. You might start there. Good luck. |
Furshur not a lot of fans of the bronze but still a step up from what I had. I believe also an Ortophon OM2. Was considering a Hana EL. Just bought a pair of Rel s510 subs and one of my amps lost a channel right after so I’m a bit spent out for the moment. As soon as I get my wind back from that I will be diving into turntable issues whole hog! Will need a laundry list of alignment tools for that venture. Cheers |
HAD money for subs! I love vinyl but it’s not the only source I listen to. Certainly tweaking what I have is a worth while effort and a means to leapfrog to something better down the road. Any thing I do now could be applied there including cartridge, isolation (like the Funk) and alignment tools.Yes, a VPI or Linn is a worthwhile upgrade but for now I have to work with what I’ve got. All part of the joy! Cheers |
