The right footing for a turntable


Replaced the brass feet on my 401 plinth. They sat on 3 sample blocks of granite on a heavy oak table. I don't like ro spend if I don't have to. So, I had these stainless steel cone footers lying around and stood them on the granite blocks, points up and sat the 50pound plinth on those. Ridiculous improvement. The soundstage is now locked in an unmoveable focus and the center image has moved up a foot. It is the weirdest thing! A slight light-brown coloration has vanished. Bass is now absurd from the Quad ESL57s. The quality of the source has lifted the performance of all other components.

ebm, not diggin' the dig. Not all of us want to spend big bucks on tweaks. The point (!) was to show how effective cheap tweaks can be. Nevertheless, thanks for the info.
I totally agree i working my way up over 40 yrs.There are many cheap tweaks that are wonderful I'm using those as well.Many people sell something before they tweak it to the max.Enjoy your system no matter how much you have spend in the end its all about the music.Enjoy!!
Also my first turntable was an AR which i bought back from Nam i thought it sound wonderful at the time never had an automatic turntable.Thanks point well taken.
