| Kuzma Stabi R vs Dr. Feickert Woodpecker 2 vs TD 124DD @rdk777 "You can also get the Stabi R in a wood frame" Last year at the AXPONA 2023 near Chicago, I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing the Stabi R in the walnut wood base. I have to say, imho, that it was very attractive and the sound was v... | |

| Curious Why Benz Micro Slid Into Obscurity @mulveling You had mentioned above "...For Ruby, Gullwing, and LP/S models you have a ruby plate. Magnetically, this is not nearly as efficient. These models do NOT work well with a SUT..." I was hoping that you could help me better understand ... | |
| Curious Why Benz Micro Slid Into Obscurity @sierrasoundllc Hello and welcome to the forum! Thank you for participating in this thread. I'm the proud owner of the Ruby ZH and absolutely love it. I'm curious, what is the current policy for trade-in and/or rebuilding this cartridge? Bes... | |
| Soundsmith - Hyperion vs lyra ETNA @kingdombuildingcon My apologies for reviving such an old thread.... I was just curious if you stayed with the EMT cartridge or have moved on to something else? If so, what did you end up getting? Did you ever find out what the difference is ... | |
| Integrityhifi TRU-GLIDER Pendulum Tonearm @phantom_av Congratulations on the J Sikora table! 😎 I spent many hours over 3 days during the recent AXPONA Show near Chicago this past April listening to the J Sikora Reference Line table, mated with Doshi Tube Electronics and Joseph Audio Pe... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey @drbond Thank you so much for sharing the link! I’ll give them a try and report back 👍 I’m curious… 1. Did you place them directly under the turntable’s feet or just under the plinth? 2. I see this company has rubber/steel/rubber pads as we... | |
| Turntable Isolation Journey @drbond You had mentioned up earlier in this thread "....Besides spending thousands for a minus K platform, the next best option that I found (better than hockey pucks) was a three layered rubber isolation device made for industrial purposes to ... | |

| Raven vs. Verdier La Platine I just got back from AXPONA near Chicago a couple weeks ago and the most enjoyable exhibit to my ears, was using the J.Sikora Reference table for their source, feeding Doshi tube electronics, feeding the amazing Joseph Audio Pearl Graphene speaker... | |
| What are the audio differences you hear with turntable Mats. @lewm Yes, I hope I like the Boston Mat too 😀 It seems like you are pretty impressed by the copper mat too. However, I'm concerned about adding too much weight to my LP12. I like the fact that the Boston Mat only weighs roughly 1 pound, so I'm... | |
| What are the audio differences you hear with turntable Mats. @lewm , thank you for sharing your thoughts and experiences with me and others. I think I will keep a watchful eye out for a used BA The Mat. If I can't find one in a few weeks, I'll order a new one to give it a try 😁 Best wishes, Don | |
| Meandering Pitch, Where’s The Problem? It could be a number of things.... If the spindle hole is off center, that can certainly cause a meandering pitch. If the motor isn't maintaining a stable speed, that can especially be noticeable on sustained piano notes as the pitch will waiver... | |
| What are the audio differences you hear with turntable Mats. @wrm57, Please accept my most sincere apologies. I have suffered 5 major strokes and there are times when I don't comprehend/understand or process thoughts very well. It can be very frustrating to me as well as to others... so for that I am very... | |
