Lonely piece of marble: where should it go?
I have Vandersteen 5A's which were professionally installed and set up. They are on a wood floor with the spikes, however, the spikes are on discs that protect the floor. To clarify "rebrate at a high pitch" above means that anything on the marble...

Koetsu Urushi+SMEV anti skating setting help

Run in time for moving coil cartridge
My new Benz Micro Ebony took many hundreds of hours to break in, and I suspect it isnt there yet. Youre saying that your Ortofon is quite old. If it has been set up properly, and doesnt track very well, I would suspect a hardening of the suspensio... 
Instructions for a Turntable Basics Protractor
