Hi Henry- you stated and I agree with this concept based on what I am hearing so far. "I believe both turntable and arm pods should be 'coupled' in the same way ie all spikes.I don't believe you should have spikes on the arm pods and pliable foote...

Hi Dgob - did you try the sp10 with just 3 of the 616's. I realize they probably come in a set of four, but being this exercise focuses on simplicity and isolation does it not make sense to use 3 touch points instead of an extra one under the sp10...

Dear Lewn - you wrote "I have involuntarily been dreaming up a way to make a really heavy one using a cylinder made of bronze that can be purchased direct from a metals company here in the US, in a wide range of diameters and almost any reasonable...
