Banquo,You do realise that if you get the Victor pigskin mat.......your turntable won't be fully kosher?Continuing to amaze me with all things audio......how do you suppose it is, that removing a heavy rubber mat from the aluminium platter of the ...

Just a comment on mats which may be of interest to the 'now' many TT-101 owners here..........compared to the standard rubber mat supplied with the deck, which I found adequate........the best mat I have heard on my TT-101 is the Micro Seiki Cu180...

Congratulations on your 'soon to be' TT-101 Banquo.They are rare to find in good condition? It took me over a year to finally find one.Are your intentions to run it 'nude'?.......as it will make an interesting comparison to your SP10MkII?

Aigenga,Those rubber bands look like a good idea to control any possible audible vibrations of the thin metal enclosure.Where did you obtain them?You say you can hear a difference?I am assuming that before you tried the TT-101 semi-nude and then f...

Thanks Don,I appreciate your comments.I'm sojourning in London at the present.....enjoying the cold and rain in the middle of summer?Sydney is sunny and warmer in the middle of winter but hey......we don't have any Cezannes there whilst London has... 
SME 312S versus SME V-12
I don't know about the SME arms......but a Dynavector DV-507MkII is complex enough yet apparently worthwhile copying? 
SME 312S versus SME V-12
The reason 2Juki has little negative feedback I believe.......is because he will refund the payment for any item which is returned (smart commercial operator).The majority of buyers for counterfeit articles have no idea they have a 'copy'? 
SME 312S versus SME V-12
2Juki is well known in the industry for selling Chinese-made copies of current and vintage audio products.Just talk to Dynavector about his 'New' 507 MkII tonearms with bogus serial numbers.....or Yamamoto about his 'New' Ebony wood headshells.......
