wall rack and different shelf materials under TT
Porcelain back, table leveled and tacking weight double-checked but this time tried some thin weaved leather coasters between the shelf and table. Nice and lively keeping the bass slam but reduced the brightness a little. Looking forward to trying... 
Electronic stylus force gauge question
I used the less than $15 pocket scale from ebay. Very accurate. Nickel weighs out to 5.00g and my audio shop had a 5.01g weight for calibrating and the scale was dead on. Has a tare button and does US / metric. Also comes with an extra battery and... 
wall rack and different shelf materials under TT
So, after some more listening this weekend, I think I am going to go back to the porcelain shelf. One thing I notice is that with the volume all the way down the tonearm seems to be doing more (more / louder pickup) with the porcelain shelf. Why i...

wall rack and different shelf materials under TT
Not sure why this double-posted.What are others using under their TTs? What are the pros and cons of the two materials I've listed or does it just come down to listening?

There is a couple of nice demo under full warranty Marantz tables with cartridge for sale here at what I would call a good price (below $1000 and you can make an offer, 2 days left on the listings - not affiliated). I wish they made a black plinth... 
Most "Musical" sounding speaker cable under $1000
Mogami 2921 biwire or biamp with Audioquest BFAs. Plenty of money left from the $1000 budget to make your system even more musical. In fact, go to Mogami 2549 RCAs also and you will still have lots left.

What to upgrade first
There was a Pro-ject tube phono box II in black for sale here a couple of days ago for $350. Not sure how you can track down the seller if it is still for sale. I really like mine, which sounds better than the Vincent Pho-8 and Musical Fidelity V-... 
Used/New Phono Preamp for Linn LP12 and Benz Micro
I really like my Pro-ject phono tube box II and you could go the SE route if you needed the extra settings. I've put it against the Vincent Pho-8 and the Pro-ject was much more musical with a wide and deep sound stage. Sounds like people like the ... 
Rega RP3 or Pro-ject Expression III?
@kiko, do you use the factory mat and footers? I read two separate posts that the RP3 improved with an acrylic platter and more rigid isolation feet. 
Help me buy some new cables....

Rega RP3 or Pro-ject Expression III?
@kiko, have you ever tried one of the acrylic platters on the RP3? 
Where's the trade off?
I put a Rogue Cronus Magnum up against my Audio Refinement separates and stayed with the solid state. I like to leave my gear on also. Have a nice little system page, take a look if you get a chance...
