Turntable leveling

Thanks for the info! Echo HiFi is only a few miles from my house!

Keith, lucky you! I not sure if their new place is open yet. 

I’ve used a bubble for more than forty years.  Never had a problem that I know of.

All the best.

I leave a small bubble level on the tt deck, always verifying level.

Bubble Levels can be defective. I have several various plastic ones, they all agree with each other (and they agree with my more professional levels I double check with).

I just bought a nicer stainless steel one with blue fluid to look good with McIntosh blue meters for an amplifier stand I will be selling on eBay. The new one is off a few degrees, what a shame, perhaps a tiny imperfection inside that prevents the bubble from centering. My quest for blue fluid is not done, the first one said blue, showed blue, came green. 

FWIW, the better quality tools, the better the project

Just make sure that when the platter is level your tonearm mounting plate is level.
