Isolation Feet Upgrade
@gochurchgo yes they will take you almost there, but the step up to the expensive stuff is as noticeable as going from no isolation to the disks of silence and Nobsound. The most benefit after the TT was under the speakers and subs, that was a bi...

Look at the scales! 😎 and yes the sound difference is noticeable to the ears to a significant scale, but also even in sound measurements. I will see if I have some measurements pictures.  For Herbies and Isoacoustic,  the range is 0.001-0.002 with...

Sorry I could not post the other picture for the Herbies pyramids

I would save the money from the power cables and use the Nobsound, and if you do not have your speakers isolated and your turntable then add Nobsound to them too. You can buy from amazon and if you do not like them send them back. BTW,I have noth... 
Isolation Feet Upgrade
@goofyfoot in my opinion, the most critical thing to isolate is the turntable, then anything with vacuum tubes (mainly because it helps them to last longer) , then speakers (doing this is like treating the room and your gear everyone benefits), th...

@gochurchgo Let me preface my answer with,🤣 Excuse my English not my first language. I measured using laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) from my lab that can measure vibrations in all axis to less than 0.0001mm I own and paid for each of the produ... 
Thinking Hybrid Integrated.
@cantorgale although the sound of the amp is OK, it is abundantly clear that the Heritage VUs have a problem, as Pathos does with their Heritage controllers that reset themselves almost every time you either completely turn the power off following... 
Single REL T/9x vs S/510 in Small Room
I have a lot of REL including 6#25 and 2 510, and for a small room you need DSP, at the very least continuous phase adjustment i would look for something more flexible than REL  
Isolation Advice Needed
You owe it to yourself to try NobSound, I have Townshend, IsoAcoustics’s every kind. By far, at least mechanically these $34 pucks are the best. I have measured with all kinds of accelerometers, laser Doppler vibrometers, a Trinnov appliance, and ... 
Is PS Audio the only game in town for Power Regenerators?
+1 inverters is the way to go, and can be done very smartly.   
Is PS Audio the only game in town for Power Regenerators?
Take a look at these 2 videos and you will see why PS Audio is not any game when it comes to power conditioning. I did the same measurements in my PS 15 and 20s They are electrical junk

These https://www.amazon.com/Nobsound-Aluminum-Speakers-Isolation-Amplifiers/dp/B07K9ZYP84?ref_=ast_sto_dp way better than the orea or isoacoustics. I have all kinds of measurements. Let me know in a PM if want to see data from accelerometers, la... 
Upgrading from Primaluna
I have the PL300 and the 400, running in mono block with Tannoy Kensington and Avant grade DUO XD; if I were to do it again I would buy the 300. The 400’s offer so little more than the 300s, at a huge expense if you change tubes. I listen to you... 
Avoiding US dealer markups
I am not saying all dealers because I do not know all of them. I am referring the the ones I "interreacted" with. I called 2 times each, one before my email with exactly what I wanted and availability for well over U$400k  worth of turntables, to...
