| Springs under turntable I'm guessing you're hearing more air around the instruments? Those likely are resonances we seek to eliminate. First thing I thought of. I know where you are coming from. But the sound quality is improved at low volume too. My rig is pretty so... | |
| Springs under turntable Correct, in this type of situation it is difficult to hand Q the record. This is one resaon the SOTA tables are so nice. @mijostyn The springs have settled and my hand has become gentler after my initial comment on bounce. I can cue fine now! | |
| Whats on your turntable tonight? @slaw Ha. That censored a s s was an object of ridicule in London when I saw RW in the 80s. | |

| Springs under turntable @millercarbon Can't wait to hear what you think. Percussion is spectacular. Julie London on mono from 1966 can't be mono!!One small downside. Poor recordings are laid out in their inadequacies. | |
| Springs under turntable This is insane. Sound is getting better as they bed in OR as I acclimate to the new presentation. It's the delicacy thats amazing. Like going from an okay MM to a superb MC. It's also showing me that I was wrong about the limits of the Garrard/Dec... | |
