How a nickel can make a valuable improvement

Sberger...My Bearpaws came with threads, and also with threaded brass washers. I threaded two of the threaded washers between the Bearpaws themselves and and the bottom of the turntable. I leveled the turntable exactly using a carpenters level by rotating the Bearpaw which raised/lowered them on their threads, then tightened one of the brass washers against the turntable, and then tightened one of the brass washers against the Bearpaw. This provides a very tight connection and a spectacular upgrade.

String,

I got the Big Fat VPI Paws. Each one of these comes with a locknut that allows for height adjustment at the bottom. Only one washer between locknut and main body of Paw. No washer for the top of the Paw to tighten against the table. So essentially can't raise lower Paws between them and table without them not being tight against plinth. So do you think I should ask for an additional set of brass washers?

Spoke to Dan at Eden Audio(by the way, he is a great guy) who is sending me some larger lock nuts to go between the Paw and the plinth so give me for flexibility in getting the table level. Will report back. In any event, things sound great and this was a very worthwhile investment.

I was just going to tell you to ask for those washers. I'll be looking forward to your report.

I use the Edensound threaded Bearpaws on my "suspension-fixed" Pro-ject 6.1 RM with great success. I have the paws screwed up tight to the plinth so they can serve to introduce mass and resonance reduction to the plinth. Additionally I purchased a set of brass washers that had the same outside diameter as the bearclaws. I picked them up at Grainger.com and they are made by Accurate Manufactured Products.
Since they are brass and thick and heavy they match the bearclaws perfectly dimensionally, and add even more mass to the plinth. If you are going to raise any side of the turntable I would recommend underneath the bearclaw not between it and the plinth.
