Butcher Block Acoustics
@mijostyn the rubber feet seem to be blocking more frequencies than the mass loading spiked feet on my turntable as well as the solid steel rack. Works for me!  
Best Phono Stage
As a newbie I went through a few phonostages from $1200-$2000 and am glad I did for the experience. My phono upgrades have been my favorite upgrade. I landed on a Allnic H-3000 and am at my endgame phono unless I hit the lottery. Buy used and do l... 
Phone pre advice - Would I benefit from this upgrade?
Phono pre's are my favorite upgrade. I can honestly recommend all that I've had. Musical Surroundings Nova III and Manley Chinook. Both fantastic and fun upgrades. I can also recommend the Clearaudio Concept Wood coming from a Rega P2. Whatever pa... 
dust protection for turntables
@huang I mistyped. Tap Plastics. They have local stores across the US.   
Upgrading from Primaluna
@newbee @audphile1 @coppy777 you all were right. Speakers were moved to 16" from the side walls and sound so much better. Still 48" from front Wall. Panels pulled and more able to capture highs instead of bouncing around the room before coming bac... 
dust protection for turntables
I went to I TAP plastics to get mine made. Custom sized, custom thickness and cutouts with finger cut outs for lift the cover off. $200 and I'm very happy.   
Upgrading from Primaluna
@audphile1 @newbee thanks for the advice I'll give these a shot.   
Upgrading from Primaluna
@tablejockey @ghdprentice @audphile1 I've uploaded pictures of my acoustic panels I made, that are in the room. I'm unable to hang them on the walls due to renting. If I move the speakers closer to the wall wouldn't it be detrimental having a spea... 
Upgrading from Primaluna
@ghdprentice my room is small so I'm dealing with 10ft width and 15ft length so 6ft between speakers and 2 ft from side walls is all I've really got. I do have custom made acoustic panels next to the speakers on each side (4ft tall and 3ft wide wi... 
Upgrading from Primaluna
@tablejockey my table is now a Clearaudio Ovation with the Hana ML and my phonostage is an Allnic H-3000. Also, a BHK would be double what I paid so Im guessing the 250 should outperform sound and headroom wise what the PL is putting out from the ... 
Fozgometer V2
@larryi awesome stuff. I've been checking out the Wally gear and Dr Feickert protector as well. I guess I'll start here and see where it takes me.   
Fozgometer V2
@lewm this is what I needed to hear. Thank you for spending the time. So essentially, I should be wasting my time focusing on other factors such as VTA and Maybe fiddling with a Wally Tractor? I might have possibly skipped a few steps in the learn... 
Fozgometer V2
@larryi do you have any recommendations for tools you use? It seems as if the Fozgometer may be a beneficial tool, but might not be a starting point and rather an ending point.   
Fozgometer V2
@lewm why would you not want as close to balanced/correct as possible? Isn’t channel balance and accuracy the ideal goal of using a tool? This dealer also mentioned there is no "correct azimuth", but wouldn't as close to complete balance be ideal?... 
Fozgometer V2
@lewm thank you for the insight. I might pull the trigger to test the Fozgometer and get familiar with the experience of what is correct and what is close enough. I guess it's more of an expensive experiment to learn.    @stringreen what did you...
