Isolation platform for non suspended turntable?
I tried spikes under my Well Tempered and it had a negative affect on the sound. 
Isolation platform for non suspended turntable?
I would tend to agree. That is why I have my Well Tempered on a two shelf, solid cherry post stand (My design) that is spiked. It also rests on a (DIY) 75lb sand box that has a separate plinth for the motor.However, if Ozzy62 says this spring susp...

M-Audio is better with an OADE mod. The Flying Cow is alright. I would suggest you visit www.taperssection.com I believe some one has an Apogee AD 1000, DA 1000 and it's power supply for sale for $450. Also, look at MSB, I think they have a decent... 
Think i need a new cart, old audio technica?
FWIW, IMO the Denon 110 sounds better than the AT 440. The AT 440's high end it a bit splashy and somewhat enoying. 
Exteme Phono Turntable Mat
I've heard rumor that the mat is actually made from the same material that comes in rolls at your local grocery or department store and sells as self paper, albeit, as a foam like material.I've also read that this stuff leaves a residue on your al...
