Blue Tack is to an audiophile what duct tape is to a handyman. Enjoy the music  
VPI felt mat vs aftermarket
@tablejockey +1 to everything said plus it helps the uni-pivot arm stay as stable as practically possible to insure for premium performance. The peripheral ring with a screw down clamp also figures into VPIs philosophy as well, making the uni-pivo... 
Jim Gordon has Passed On...
Sad news all the way around, was a big Jim Gordan fan and the people he seemed to lend his skills to, but never new that about him murdering his mother. Tragic.

Aesthetix Janus preamp Standard
@jperry, thank you so much for your input on the Janus, it is exactly what I needed to hear. I would have been selling my Allnic H-1500se II phono stage to get into a one box system and reading between the lines on a few of the reviews was thinkin... 
Ref75se
