| My list of tweaks and the verdict Thanks for all your thoughts @aj523. I 100% agree with the Townshend pods- I have their seismic platform and when I put it under my admittedly light turntable, it completely blew me away. Herbie’s mat got rid of my problem of the static from a sto... | |
| Please Educate Me @paul6001 - typing a letter on a keyboard is DIGITAL to start. the english language is made of letters which when keyed are digital. Represented by 1s and 0s in the disk's memory. If you talk about handwriting interpretation that is another matter... | |
| Anything SS sounds better than D'Agostino ? You tube? C'mon man. Absolutely worthless.Listen in a store or better yet, in your house. | |
| Looking for a ‘’No braine’r Integrated amplifier under 7500 or so Figure out speakers first. Then maybe you can get a better deal if you go the new route through a local dealer.If you can find one, Plinius makes great amps. They've had a thinning out of dealers in the US. Their integrated start at under your pri... | |
| Best type of metal for turntable platform? The floor supports will do the most if you can pull that off. I couldn't so had to do the wall shelf/platform I mentioned above. Your sound will improve dramatically when you remove all the vibrations! | |
| Best type of metal for turntable platform? Of course not. But I think SME tables take care of everything (no shelves, pods/platforms, etc.,) from what I've heard. Not inexpensive though...Sound like an end game for the whole source discussion. | |
| New Audiophile going crazy Do you ever listen to music? Sounds like you just buy and test equipment. You will never be satisfied until you settle on a level and then maybe make single improvements to see how much better it sounds.Making so many changes so often will leave y... | |
| Best type of metal for turntable platform? I have a Townshend seismic platform (it has pods attached under it) under my turntable. When installed, it improved the sound so much I was incredulous. Unfortunately, the very low waves from the pods combined with my suspended floor and extremely... | |

| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. @rim - guess I won't be considering a VPI in the future. Sticking with what I've got for the long haul now that it is insulated from vibration and sounding great. I have it on a Townshend Seismic platform sitting on a wall mounted shelf. Adding th... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. @dover - the next generation of Rega arms, especially the higher end ones (RB880, 2000- now 3000) have dramatic improvements. The 2000 came out with the RP10, which has since been replaced with the P10, so it has been a while since the new design ... | |
| Harley quote True @mahgister. However, once you've conquered those issues, upgrading equipment can improve the sound, sometimes dramatically. Just beware of the law of diminishing returns....and upgradeitis. People spending monopoly money on stereo equipment i... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. @jperry - those are my thoughts as well. Over $4000 or so, I would consider other arms, and tables for that matter.The one I mentioned earlier that doesn't touch the plinth from integrity hifi (I think it's called Tru Glider) for example at $4K so... | |
| Harley quote @cleeds - @djones is talking about spending money and getting worse sound. Of course it is a bad investment - no one is talking about that. We are talking about value in improved SQ for each incremental dollar spent. The law of diminishing returns... | |
| what are some of best tonearms you own or experience with. @dover-you didn't mention Rega. What are your thoughts regarding them relative to their pricing of $600-$2200 (actually $1200 one, RB880 is excellent). Many tables use them as an OEM with the Moth label. You have such extensive experience, it woul... |
