Suspension vs. non-suspension turntables???
Levitation I leave for myself. As for the table, I used 1000Lb. rate Stanley wall brackets and bolted a pair to the underside a thick slab of rock maple cutting board. Lag bolted the brackets into wall studs. You can place a glass of water on the ...

Home Depot Power Cord?
I recently wanted to install a couple of rear speakers in a home theatre system and did not want to run speaker wire around, up, and over the room. So, and in an effort to economize, I bought the Home Depot cord and ran it down through the floor b...
