Micro Seiki SX8000 Mk1
From bottom to top of the footer base (which has a large threaded insert built into it is 22mm. The height of the outside portion of the footer is 15.8mm to the outside edge, there is a 45 degree bezel which leads to the next edge which is 17mm fr...

Looks like 78mm across the bottom. 
Please recommend used tonearm under $1K
Nandric,You've got private mail. 
Please recommend used tonearm under $1K
All of this mud-slinging is going off-topic. I think there are a variety of arms under $1k which are really quite good. I don't want to be accused of talking my own book (I still have a closet full of stuff to get rid of) so I won't name names her... 
Top ten DD turntables of all time?
Sit, which one? 
Low Volumes
As Larryi suggests, the bass energy is easily transmissible in many cases. In mine, it is not the bass energy which comes through (unless one is right beneath, but my speakers are placed where it is impossible for my neighbors to be under) but pia... 
Low Volumes
I think Leahy may have the right concept. Point sources and line sources decay at a different rate according to distance from the speaker. The 'thump' of the maximum SPL from the speaker (as it produces the thump) being equal, a point source speak...

Are there any headshells with adjustable canting?
Je_pense,This is kind of a stab in the dark but...You might want to check on the underside of the armtube to see whether there is a tiny screw for adjusting the headshell mounting collar. That tiny screw exists on the PX-1 and I think also the PX-... 
A new TT from Steve Dobbins,"The Beat." ???
Ken,Thanks for the color. I might do the same thing on the platter for my 308. It would be great to get a better one. I would love to build a better platform as well - rather than the MDF box. As to numbers, in Japan at least, there are probably a... 
A new TT from Steve Dobbins,"The Beat." ???
Kftool,The platter of the DN-308, as is, unfortunately rings like a bell. It is the same design as was on the DP-6000 which was replaced by the double-platter construction of the DP-80. It is well worth treating I expect (I have not done mine) and... 
Top ten DD turntables of all time?
Seals,I think there are some who might disagree with you that the Goldmund Studio is the ONLY ONE direct drive high-end turntable. I can think of a few actually. 
New audiophile looking for first speakers. HELP
I would agree with Duke on the Altecs/JBLs. I have never put death metal through my Model 19s but they do the finesse thing well, and can, and do shake (literally, because it's a large post and beam construction) the house when I want to go loud. ... 
Autographed Albums
The New York Album CD signed by David Zinman and YoYo Ma. That's it. 
The pivoted arm experiment is over
Excellent test and excellent review. There will be people who would have come to a different conclusion but that's what makes a world.
