Yamaha NS 1000M Find
Agreed. For $30, that counts as garage-sale find of the year.

FWIW... my apartment building is wide and flat and is only 3 floors high. It is certainly not designed with the same features as my office building, which is 15 times taller, and has seismic dampening foundations.Not sure what to say... My SX-8000...

I am happy to have the seismic protection for when earthquakes come along. But the resonant frequency of those is quite low :^)However, I notice the difference between having an isolation platform and not having one. And I notice the difference in...

Suspended. I don't worry about whether my floor will flex though. I know it will. Earthquakes affect the sound because the building shakes (for those not used to them, earthquakes can be 'noisy'). Having had a setup on the ground floor (concrete s...

Great speakers. They are 90dB at 8 ohms. Maximum recommended input is 100W.

Halcro,I don't have suspended wood floors. They are poured concrete with a thin fake wooden flooring cover. The rack in the system page is old. I haven't added pics in a couple of years. The P3's springs are actually surrounded in an oil solution ...

Halcro,I know my statement and Jonathan's are not the same - no 'quite' about it. My 'if I implement pods' comment involves a pod, his doesn't. I agree with Jcarr's recent comments and am on record moons ago on these fora having said something sim...

Halcro,A couple of thoughts...I think we will all agree that just because the 'theory' is not borne out in 'results" does not mean the theory is wrong. In many cases, the 'not-as-good-in-theory' concept is far better implemented than the theoretic...

Thuchan,This is, as Dgob points out, only theory. However, following that theory, one would say that having armpod and turntable on different isolation platforms would be sub-optimal. One could see this by having the table be absolutely, perfectly...

Thanks Jonathan - I was searching for that word "phase" in my head, when noting the possibility of similar resonances having an "offset" through different coupling or whatnot. I think it got lost rattling around in there - probably a "just-ate-a-K...

Thuchan,The Toho base is an excellent, heavy base. The issue is not so much one of moving by hundredths of a millimeter as the fact that it may flex or resonate at a different frequency or 'offset' (the timing of the when the wave crosses the zero...

Chris,FWIW, a friend swears by phosphor bronze. 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Stltrains, as The Good Professor suggested, I'd bet you need more MOI but that will get me in trouble around here :^) so instead I'd suggest checking the resonant frequency and trying to get a better match at the other end of the range... :^). (phew) 
Who needs a MM cartridge type when we have MC?
Please forgive the off-topic wanderings... I have had the PL70LII, the PL-50L, PL-7L, the P10, and the P3. I think there is excellent bang for buck in the whole line of Stable Hanging Rotor tables if you can abide the strong yen and shipping costs...

Nikola,If cats only have seven lives in Holland and you need a few extra lives out of your cat, you need to import some from the USA where they have nine.
