| SRA Isolation Platform under a Turntable How expensive is a SRA or a Critical Mass platform and is it worth it (sonically not in $ terms) in a specialist audio rack? Have one of those incredibly heavy all acrylic/ stainless steel racks that are OEM for the MBL range from Germany.Cheers | |

| Rega RB 600/Grado Ref:do i need a spacer? I use a Rega supplied 2mm shim on my Rega RB 1000 mounted on a Gyrodec. The cartridge is a Lyra Skala. IMHO try the Grado with and without the spacer and go for whatever sounds best to your ears. Rega believes that VTA is something you should not ... | |
| Second hand vinyl in NYC Guys : many thanks. Will carry a spare suitcase!!Happy listening | |
| Mint Tractor StingreenI believe you are spot on. Its tedious work at best but worth every cent. The biggest revelation IMHO are the jet black inky silences from which the music now erupts. My jaw dropped(believe me this is not a cliche) last night listening to... |
