Replace tnt2 springs with new vpi isolators?

Ray -I am not sure but Mike probably personally prefers the spring suspension. He was just telling me what others have been saying to him and for $50 dollars its worth switching out and just giving it a try. Let your own ears decide which you prefer.
I got the tnt up and running but am having problems with the PLC - the older one with dials. TNT runs fine without PLC but with it - it dies after about 15 mins.
Found out that that back dial is for voltage for motor noise only and front dial is for speed. If someone has a technique for setting this it would be appreciated.
otherwise I intend to turn nut on back fully clockwise then start turning counter clockwise till noise is minimal but stll runs.Then I will adjust the front dial and hope it works.
I opened it up and sprayed the IC's with cleaner and will let it sit for the day to dry out ad try again.

Hi Chris,

Yes Mike told me I could try both ways myself also, but said in end Id return to springs. I too have the Dial PLC, and had a problem, dont remember what it was, but Mike sent me another one, that was sent in to them, and told me to switch out a certain IC, but my problem ended up resolved, and the one he sent me, only problem was that the transformer had broken loose from it anchoring to the bottom of the box, very simple fix, and I use that on my second turntable system. It was nice of him to send me another unit, he may do the same for you, especially if you are contemplating a new table. Ray

Ray, the TNT for me is the new table with the HW19-mkIV just sold. Both with ET2 arms. I read on the web that the PLC needs to be at least 3 feet away from TT. It was on the shelf right below the TT before. I moved it away as far as possible. Went through a whole listening session last night just fine and it sounds good. Hopefully it remains that way.

Ask Mike about the squash ball suspension for your table. It's really the very best solution. If you're handy Mike will sell you the parts so you can continue to use the four cups you already have. Then it's not a very expensive proposition.

Melm,
Are you referring to the TNT or the HW19 MK.IV? What are the cups your referring to? Mike told me about using the Foam Floaties for swimming pools, that is sold at Toys R Us....its a long foam tube, he said to cut like 3 inch peices, and try them in the 4 spring locations, if I wanted to experiment with a non spring suspended table. I have also heard of guys using squash balls, I think cut in half?? or is it the full ball? Any other special parts needed? Mike did tell me that instead of the $2400.00 to put a JMW 10.5i arm and armboard on my HW19 MK.IV, he could use a B Stock JMW 10.5i tonearm with armboard for $1400.00....but Im still not so sure about the JMW Tonearms. I have heard so many pros and cons....My ZETA is a very good tonearm, and matches well with most of todays top MC Cartridges. Ray
