Has anyone seen this? A really beautiful turntable
Such is the life of an early adopter.  
Having A Tough Time Justifying More Than One Table
You can get a dust cover with locking hinges on any top SOTA. 
The psychological factor
Look, you turn it up as loud as you like. Who cares about the position of the volume control. If you can not get to the volume you want then you need a more powerful amp, one with a higher input sensitivity or a preamp with more output. If that do... 
I have an some 3 tone arm
castner, it is a damping mechanism used to dampen resonance in the bass. It all depends on the cartridge you are using as to whether or not it will be a benefit.   
What the heck did I do

Lets try to make things simple. Play something with a heavy bass line and put your hand on the speaker/subwoofer. Any vibration you feel is distortion. Ideally you should not feel a thing. If the floor resonates it will do so regardless if the spe...

mambacfa, in the case of industrial machinery you are trying to isolate everything else from the vibrating machine. Listening to the machine vibrate is not the objective. I think that is quite different from a device that is intentionally either p... 
Are all Audiophiles masocists?
bullitt5094, those are sports not hobbies but they take up time just the same. Sometimes I think audio is a sport as it does seem at times we are competing with each other. It is that competitive streak that runs in us that is the problem. We can'...

"When correct implementation of zero stiffness on loudspeakers is administered, there is no question of the superiority of this engineering practice on the voicing of the loudspeaker." (rixthetrick)rixthetrick, What is zero stiffness? That is a te...
