@uberwaltz  Not springs -pods. 
Springs under turntable
@uberwaltz Try 3 Nobsound springs under the 401. 2 at front -the way I have them. Then 2 at back. Interesting upset in your result. Mine is the opposite with the mids projecting free of the speakers and the highs sparkling. Frankly, I thought my E... 
TV Mounted above fireplace mantel - neck strain?
Not a fan or tilt and lean. Straight ahead. Wherever you put it, watch out for glare and reflections. 
Update on Audiogon Member Almarg
This is gut-wrenching. I don't think I've ever shed a tear about audio before. Except when I sheared the diamond off my rare Garrett Bros Decca by not locking the armrest. Al has always been a gentleman on this forum. Not only because he is a kind...

@indranilsen Hopefully they'll sound better tomorrow. Thing is, they are a lot more expensive compared to the Nobsound at $35. How do they compare to them?

What is missing here?
Agreed. Reviews used to be shootouts between competing components. Now they are just glorified write ups of products already deemed praiseworthy by the publishers and serve no useful purpose other than light entertainment.

@mads I was also looking at trying the custom made feet from these guys, Stick with springs. Sorbothane has a bad rap for sound quality! 
What is this cartridge?
LOL! Beat me to it. I spent too long reading those pages. So basically, it looks to be one of the first MC cartridges. 
Which turntable should I choose?
Technics GR. Start saving for a better phono amp.The Ortofon Black is unforgiving with noise on records. e.g. Audio Technica VM750SH is not. A crappy arm and table doesn't help either.Why are you looking at vinyl if you have issues with it and wit... 
What is missing here?
@daveyf I used run a Class D T amp which has about 3 watts! In fairness, it didn't crank well. It is remiss not to include the output in the specs. Maybe they forgot. Perhaps AS assumes anyone who knows their stuff would know the 300B in SE mode o... 
What is missing here?
For an 87dB speaker, 8 watts will give you 96dB at 1 meter. Pretty loud.If you're buying a 300B amp, you'd have to have done some research. Why attack low-powered amps rather than inefficient speakers? ;-)
