Weight, Clamp or stabilizer?
I have a vintage Pioneer PL-560 Direct-Drive Automatic Turntable purchased around 1980.

I'm trying to get it to produce the best sound its capable of. I plan to order a set of SVS subwoofer feet to replace the worn feet (I have an SVS subwoofer and removed its feet and temporarily placed them on the TT base with good results). I read an article about TT tweaks. A few things they suggested were an upgraded mat, clamp and isolation feet. Thing is since the TT is a direct drive I don't know how much extra weight it can take (if any), and the spindle is about 7/8 inches tall so I don't know if that's enough for a clamp. The original rubber mat it came with is in great shape. Do I need to replace it, too? I'm willing to invest in tweaks to improve this turntable, but not interested in replacing it.

the best solution for older home is using wall mounted pedestal for your turntable, it will also buy you some space on your audio cabinet / shelf Google results, https://www.google.com/search?q=turntable+isolation+wall+mount&rlz=1C1CHBF_enUS730US730&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiA-euMx4zjAhXMZc0KHSoZD3IQ_AUIESgC&biw=1920&bih=1089 |
Got it, thanks. I copied your name as well as text, so others would know who I was responding to. I didn't get a notification that you had responded to me. Is that possible here? |
