The only thing I plan on changing on the one I just acquired is the arm. That's being kept under cover for the time being...... The one I just got, is as dead quiet as anyone could ask for. I too removed the springs and rubber, then screwed it down to it's original plinth with # 8 x 2" wood screws after removing and re-glueing the blocks. I used a stethoscope to listen for noise all around the plinth and the top plate. This thing is QUIET.
Can't wait till the arm gets here.......
