| Moving a Basis 2001 Oh, crap. This is not rocket science. I don't mean to insult you or make fun of your concern. All you need do is unscrew the pods, mark them on the bottom for orientation, wrap in some bubble wrap, and make the move. Of course I offer this advice ... | |
| How isolated is your hi-fi? We're empty nesters so I don't have to share with anyone or anything. Well, except my pool table. My wife and I are much happier having our separate spaces to enjoy what we each enjoy. We're not worried about growing apart since we still do plenty... | |
| Anyone use a hockey puck as a record weight? FWIW, the Galibier Anvil is 6 lbs. Make sure your 'table bearing is up to the task. | |
| Tri-Planar with no anti-skate? "Call me irresponsible - call me unreliableThrow in undependable too" | |
| Tri-Planar with no anti-skate? None of the Triplanar owners that I know use any dampening fluid.Scale?!? We don't need no stinking scale! :) | |
| Dynavector XV-1s set up Interesting. I find my XV-1s sounds best to me around 1.85 grams. I suppose the arm being used may have something to do with what VTF works best for anyone. | |
| Tri-Planar with no anti-skate? Paul,What you heard by reducing AS is what several of us are still enjoying with the Triplanar.Doug Deacon found out a while back that the performance on the Triplanar/UNIverse combo can be improved substantially by lowering the AS force. Followin... | |
| Maple or Granite I'm sure Vibrapods are good for some components but they can't handle the weight of my table. Springs are interesting but they'll resonate at certain frequencies. Stillpoints have some compliant materials inside. There is always a trade-off.I inst... | |
| Maple or Granite Interesting, Crem1. My box of Stillpoints are being delivered today. This issue of what the shelf material is and how it affects the sound does seem like a never ending trail. I really like the look of my Dakota Mahogany granite shelves, so I orde... | |
| Cartridges & Sensitivity to VTF XV-1s, I find it responds to changes of ~.02 grams quite nicely. Same with a Denon 103r. | |
| Maple or Granite The point is, nothing is written in stone. :) | |
| Maple or Granite I agree with Cmk's take on granite and the dependency on the component, 'table or other, that sits on it.I'm offering up my experiences here not to counter what others have posted, but rather to share what I tried and what did not work in my case.... | |
| Maple or Granite I think it depends on your sonic preferences, equipment and setup.I use a ~4" sandbox for my table. I first tried hard maple butcher block under my 'table. It was cut almost 3" thick and glued edge grain up. Dull, sluggish, boring. A granite slab ... | |
| Do you think you need a subwoofer? Bruce Edgar recommends lifting his mid-bass horns a few inches off the floor. My implementation of his mid-bass weight so much I had to put them on casters so by default they are lifted almost 3". The bass horn is also lifted ~3" only because the ... | |
| turntable sounds better on warm summer nights "My wife sounds better on warm summer nights, go figgur!"Yeah, she does! |
