Turntable Mat question
Rocky what Ralph is saying  is that the center of the mat should be recessed to fit the elevated label area and have a total diameter slightly less than the record so that the fatter record lip can hang over the edge of the mat. This way the playi... 
Sussurro MkII and surface noise?
Tony, Once the azimuth is set, tracking force and anti skate dialed in. start with the tone arm bearing end low, just below were the tone arm is parallel to the record. Raise the rear a degree at a time listening to the noise in between. Give the ... 
Permanent 50hz
Not normal and Why would a 50 Hz tone be coming from the mid range driver. The cross over should have taken that out. What kind of speakers are they? 
DIY speakers of solid/reclaimed wood?
Bad idea guys. Wood expands and contracts with humidity. The various species do this at various rates. What we do to prevent cracking is float pieces that go across the grain to prevent cracking. The old raised panel doors are an example of this. ...

UPGRADE FROM VPI SCOUTMASTER
Hey Millercarbon, you sucked yourself into that one. However I would much rather own a Kuzma than any of those others. He is a brilliant engineer. The Kuzma 4pt 9 is the best tonearm for the money you can buy (big period) 
Noise from phono. Help please.
Glai, give all your equipment the same ground by plugging everything into the same power strip. The only exception I make is for large power amps which I like to have dedicated lines for. If you have a lot of money a Shunyata is fine. Next make su... 
Good starter amp recommendation
millercarbon, maybe the fellow just likes movies. I set up incredible theater systems all the time. The last one used Magico speakers, Pass electronics, a Trinnov Altitude 16 an SME 30/12, Kuzma 4 pt 14 with a Koetsu Rosewood Signature Platinum, M...
