A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Atmasphere: Yes, that could be a " plinth " but that is not the subject here but the TT naked it self .In this same thread I posted that we always can hang on the TT from the ceiling and now what : the ceiling is the " plinth ".?The subject i... 
How important is the tonearm?
I forgot, that was at hardware level we can't forget that all that system hardware ( including cartridge. ) works in favor of software/LPs.Raul. 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Lewm: So, that's means that all you own in your system were a placebo like where things are you were ready/prepare to like it? or it is only the " humor " you wake up today?Regards and enjoy the music,Raul. 
How important is the tonearm?
Deare Acadie: For many years I " supported " that the tonearm and cartridge are one and only one audio item not two audio items.The in between relationship is so critical on quality performance level that made a hard " task " try to separate one e...

Dear Banquo363: The AT616 operate from audio items in the 10kgs to 60 kgs weight range.These insulator are beautiful made with a very high quality and where the 605 looks like a " poor toy " but the more important subject is that its three way ins... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear friends: For all your posts and especially the starting ones by Timeltel seems to me that I'm just loosening the " big party " with the Signets/ATs freaks.I own the AT 155LC but no the TK5e or other Signet but the TK10ML II/III.Fortunately th... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Banquo363: Yes, 15kg a piece. These AT footers are way different to the 605, the 616 are pneumatic design that take away vibrations/resonances from the audio item and impede too that come in any vibrations/resonances coming from where the AT6...

Dear Dgob: Nice to see that you too take that " flag " and that like it.The critical point here IMHO is that you decided to test it and the good thing to you is that the rewards you received on change was way worth to made it with almost no $$$/ef... 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Timeltel: As a fact I'm still learning on the whole subject thank's to this thread and yours and all other great people contributions.If we take stylus/cantilever as a stand alone " set " then I agree the cantilever has more " weight " on qua... 
My Turntable Collection.....
Dear Tobaccoleafpie : The B&O MMC1 is IMHO a great cartridge that the 8002 can't honored. You need to try it in other TT for the cartridge can show you how really good it is and you can really enjoy it.Regards and enjoy the music,Raul. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Dear Timeltel/Lewm: On the cantilever subject I still consider the cantilever as a critical " factor " either because is the " one " that carry the stylus is the one IMHO with a higher resonance ( mechanical. ) " responsability " is the one maybe ... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Lewm: I still think that the best way to improve quality sound performance in an audio system is reducing/lowering " distortions " ( any kind and everywhere. Even against " theories ". ).The whole naked TT project seems to " align " with that... 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear Ralph: +++++ " " If the arm is mounted on a separate 'island', it will be impossible to reproduce the LP exactly, as any differences between the platter surface and the arm base, for example microscopic vibration or resonance, will be interpr...

Ralph/Lewm/all, it has to read: can't follow the boat movements.R. 
A Copernican View of the Turntable System
Dear all: +++++ " The only thing I WILL say, and I am rather tired of repeating it, is that obviously there are such things as "bad" plinths. I have heard two such. I can readily believe that no plinth may sound better than a bad plinth. " +++++ye...
