Something just isn't there
Have you considered powering your system from a true balanced power supply? For me and many others, this is really rewarding.

Sadly another UK manufacturer sold to overseas ownership. Lets hope nothing more changes..Thanks for posting, they are based just 10 miles from me.. 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
My TTS-8000 is sounding incredible and it's not quite finished yet! 
Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ...
^^ Agreed, it is indeed amazing for the outlay. Mine is just past 100hrs now, and presenting music as good as I have heard in 30 yrs in this crazy hobby. I just heard some new guitar lines in Love over Gold that I had never knew existed, adding to...

taravana,How have you arrived at +3db at those frequencies? Just curious to understand your test method before trying to offer any thoughts..Rgds,Paul. 
What is best turntable for listening to Rock from the sixties like Led Zeppelin?
I'd look for a decent direct drive ie the Technics as celtic66 has mentioned.  
Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ...
Glad you’re happy Al, it will gradually get better as others have said, I have just passed the 100hrs mark and the sound has formed very well, it is very coherent and nothing distracts from the musical performance itself, as you say, very nicely d... 
Vintage DD turntables. Are we living dangerously?
Lewm, Absolutely, the top end of the late 70's DD era will never be repeated, and many of them are still very viable contenders when it comes to proper high fidelity. The limiter is finding them in unabused condition, and knowing a good service te...

I find the rebuild and re plinth of a direct drive from the 70’s really far more appealing than spending considerable sums on a new belt drive despite the pitfalls, most of which are repairable we hope. I am currently re plinthing a Sony TTS 8000,...

exlibris, have you considered Lithium Polymer or Lithium Ion (Li-po / Li-ion)? I don't recall you mentioned battery tech of your existing 12v. Perhaps 2 batteries, one on charge when the other is in use? 
Devialet Premier Original with Wilson Sophia 2 - Anyone Head this combo?

Elvis Presley Fans?
And mapman, that sounds like fun!  
Elvis Presley Fans?
I admit to being very envious of you guy's that have visited Graceland and Sun Studios, along with other stories of Elvis. For me, he has always stood above all others for his vocal ability and creative control of the music they all made. Some gre... 
Whats on your turntable tonight?
Elvis Presley - 'That's the way it is' 4 LP set, still sounding absolutely wonderful.. 
Pani ... New ART-9 up and running ...
Just stumbled upon this thread, very timely too as I have recently at last, fitted my ART-9 to my SAEC WE506/30. I have been working on (and off - as time permits) a rebuild of a 1978 Sony TTS 8000 with the SAEC in my own plinth design. The plinth...
