| Best type of metal for turntable platform? @clearthinker Rolls Royce solution: Take up the floor, dig out a bit if required, lay new DPC, in-fill with concrete screed, lower floor level to get more ceiling height if desired. According to taste, re-lay boards except where equipment and spea... | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? @hilde45 @bkeske I wasn’t beating up on him. He may cater to high end clients and that’s fine. I took note of this video because it was explicitly aimed at what a minimum budget would require. In other words, this is not a video aimed at movie stu... | |
| Best type of metal for turntable platform? Don’t go crazy, but dekay has a reasonable idea. When actually leveling a floor, you have to know what your are doing, and do it fractions at a time, for a variety of reasons. All you want to do is reinforce, stabilize, and provide support at the ... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio Very nice. His description of each song is pure Leo 😁He did the same on 12 String Blues | |
| Best type of metal for turntable platform? The point is, you might have to spend a lot of money on a localized audiophile bandaid solution instead of a few bucks by minimizing the actual problem. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Zdeněk Košler conducts Martinů - Concertino For Piano Trio And String Orchestra & Sinfonietta Giocosa For Piano And Small Orchestra. The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra. Supraphon reissue 1985, originally 1978. Czechoslovakia. | |
| Best type of metal for turntable platform? There’s crawl space under my floor. SOTA has came up many times for my situation, but I do really like this TT and want to make it work. Even if I wall mount I feel that the flexible floor vibration will creep into the wall.Well, you could still d... | |
| Acoustic treatment question: do you agree with Dennis Foley that $46k to $65k is required? I like Dennis, and appreciate his knowledge, especially regarding room issues, and what to look for, or, look out for. But understand, his career has mostly been in high end design, fabrication, and installations. As I understand, he is getting ou... | |

| Best type of metal for turntable platform? Yes, I live in an old home, with ‘flexible’ floors as well. Had similar issues, and tried all types of things (which worked to some degree or another) before I got my SOTA Sapphire.As I always say now, get a SOTA, problem solved 😉But, first off, i... | |
| Speaker cable length Good for you, enjoy.That is quite a difference to what you had. Will be interested in your thoughts. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Vladimir Ashkenazy conducts Strauss - Ein Heldenleben. The Cleveland Orchestra. London 1985.My second spin of this. Love this performance. Have it on CD, but the vinyl, wonderful. | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @spiritofradio It’s good. I like it. I read where his vocals on Circle were ‘saturated’. Maybe, a little, but not very noticeable to me. A bit more ‘laid back’ studio vibe.Now, I do have a soft spot for his first, ‘12 String Blues’ (only 1,000 cop... | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? Just received in the mail. This was a studio remake of Leo’s first (with a couple more additional songs), mostly live album called ‘12 String Blues’, which I have. I remember a friend had this album years ago, but have never compared it to the ear... |
