Any new turntable brands we should pay attention to ?

Hello Eric.

... how far above the top surface of a table’s platter is the top of the Terminator?

The top of the arm assembly is the VTA adjustment knob, about 3.5" above the top of the platter. The gantry suspending the cabling is another 3" higher, but this is highly adjustable.

And how far to the right of the platter’s center spindle does the arm's support structure extend?

The distance from the spindle to the right hand side of the arm structure (the levelling screws) is 11", but this can be modified by +/- 0.5" by positioning the arm base on it's tower.

Neither measurement is affected by setup parameters. Hope this helps. Terry

Great, thanks Terry. I've been in touch with Vic, and it's on!

Eric, just a couple of notes.

1.  I use the HiBlow air pumps, made in Japan, obvious quality, but noisy enough to be in a closet or another room. I bought from Pets and Ponds.
2.  I also use a Fairchild regulator and a blood pressure gauge, allowing me to tune the sound towards warm (low pressure, about 9 mm of Hg) or precise (high pressure about 30mm Hg). Note that 760 mm Hg is 1 atmosphere or 15 psi, so 30 mm Hg is 0.6 psi.

I read that Anvil turntables are supposed to be very good decks and superb VFM
