Strange turntable/speaker issue
And get rid of this pretty tray of sand? 🙃https://www.dropbox.com/s/bnavxx927vkeyl7/IMG_0965.JPG?dl=0I may consider that, but right now, everything is working and sounding better than ever. 😉

Another update.After spending more and more on ‘new’ albums (mostly classical) I realized, stubbornly, that my old Kenwood was just not ‘cutting it’. Since I bought it in the mid-70’s it had issues with maintaining proper speed, and I finally deci...

Just an update.Recieved the high pass filters, but left them in their package in case I wanted to return them. Recieved the Schiit Mani today and hooked it up. Prior to all this, I took all the stock ‘absorbsion’ feet off the Kenwood, as 3 of 4 of... 
Best drink while listening to your rig?
Water; I don’t drink alcohol. On the weekends, of course coffee if I listen early enough. 
The best music in 2018
Eels "The Deconstruction"If you're a fan, you'll get it.Love E, and whatever version of the Eeels he puts together.Will have to check that out on Tidal, surprised I have not yet.And always well recorded and engineered.  But the Eeels do make music... 
Cd's to make a come back in the future?
I use Tidal, a lossless account, and it’s very good, but, if I find something on Tidal I like enough to want as a physical ‘keeper’, I search it out on eBay for usually very little digital cash (PayPal). Both my streaming and CD Player run through...

@millercarbon Thanks for the additional insight.I had a pretty good feeling the styrofoam, or large tiles, etc. would not work. What I wanted to see was if the material I tried had any effect at all. It did. I wanted to make sure it wasn’t just a ...

The Kenwood is not a light weight turntable. Probably heavier than many in its pice class when manufactured. Again, that was it’s big selling points, the composition make-up and weight of the table.After a bit more searching for replacement feet, ...

@larryrs Thanks so much, I’ll take a look at it.

OK all, interesting finding.@viridian Yes, I didn’t really want to pull the plug with a record playing, but I did. Turned up up volume, and no ’howling’ at all. @millercarbon I didn’t want to, but finally moved some furniture out of the way, and s...

@jnorris2005 Interesting to consider. One note though, when I say wood shelves, these shelves are supported fully by a metal flange and frame and also a composite (layered wood) shelf that is as thick as the metal frame supporting it, or 1 1/2”. I...
