If air-borne sound pressure is a problem in the turntable playback system, then every increase in volume would of necessity degrade the sound.Correct. The defence rests....😎 
Tonearm mount on the plinth or on Pillar ?
HalcroCan you please explain how we can hear and clearly understand someone talking on the other side of a closed window?Horrid music, which sounds like a broken washing machine, coming thru the walls of my sons bedroom?Err...perhaps you should re...
