No doubt live music is very best way and VPI is indeed better then Technics but living within your budget and educating youfelf about audio can be rewarding too. If TT is very prone to vibrations try a wall mount stand. Go to Lowes or Home Depot and get good shelf brackets and some screws found in the special draws for screws. I forget name of screws but they are two threaded sides one is pointed (like wood screw) one is flat. Screw flat side into shelf brackets (already has two holes) with some nuts (top/bottom)to secure. The pointed side up acts like an expensive brass cone isolator with shelf on top. Total investment is about $10 with a 3/4 plywood shelf.
What should I add next?
I finally got my techniques 1210 up and running and I must say I am very happy with the sound quality. I was just wondering if it makes more sense to invest in some of the Kab Mods(fluid damper/Tone arm rewire), or invest in a better preamp(I currently own the low end MM cambridge which does not sound any better than plugging my player directly into my receiver--13 year old Kenwood), cartridge(low end Grado currently), or speakers(looking to spend around 500$ for a pair). I also have the Sumiko headshell, but have not gotten around to using it,and an Isoplatmat. Any suggestions would be great--Cheers
