I stuck my "used but clean" Linn Basik/Akito on a light but stable table by itself...as the instructions instructed (after initially ignoring said instructions and learning they actually know what they're doing). The resut was as predicted, and has stopped my quest for a better TT right there. Sounds amazing, and it stays until it blows up.
What causes microphonics in a tonearm?
Several tonearms i'm considering have been accused of being susceptible for microphonics. The tonearms in question are the Pro-Ject(Oracle Paris-RPM 10.1)Rega(P9) and Rega based(OL) tonearms. Is the poor quality stock tonearm cable responsible or is this a design flaw? As always I appreciate your comments.
