Best vibration isolation for speakers on carpet?
+1 for Townshend speakers bars. I use them under my Harbeth M40.z Anniversary.  More difficult to adjust than the Podiums but sema results.  
Speaker Placement and Toe-In
I have the speaker bars. Max Townshend told me the were as efficient as the Podiums but not as easy to install and manage the the right position under the speakers. Aesthetically they are less fancy but the price is more friendly. my 2cents

I just ordered Arcadia RCA. Will receive it soon. They will be installed between the step up and the pre. Hope they are well protected from EMI and RFI because I still have some noise when I listen vinyls (earth is well connected and cables as far...

That being said you can also buy a one arm only tt and add a Viv Labs as a second tonearm if you feel you need it after some time. No need to drill the plinth and these arms seem to have something special.

Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other

Turntable upgrade recommendations: SME vs AMG vs Technics vs other
I remember a few years back Mr Swissonor came home for a listen with his rebuilt 124 equipped with his own tonearm. I was about to buy it but with my SME 3012-R. He didn’t want because he said the 12’’ would unbalance the 124 (you need a larger th...

Thanks for your help 👍 probably I’m wrong but the Transrotor looks like a copy of all the most successful designs realized by other makers « before ». I don’t said they are, but it seems. Their TT’s models are so different from one another that ...
