Some proper mats as alternative to any modern mats: my CU-180 with ST-10 and SAEC SS-300 Two best vintage mats on the market, the last one is much cheaper. Instead of isolation platform under a turntable i would recommend to use pneumatic feet (support up to 60kg). Need help to find them in mint condition? Send PM |
@uberwaltz I posted this on my Virtual System "Added a black aluminum 20mm oversized platter to the slate plinth 401. Beautifully made. I did some listening tests before and after swapping out on a number of tracks (after all the tubes were warmed up for an hour.) Definite increase in bass control. I’ve been having some issues with a little bloom in the low end which have been tamed. Color, speed and focus -especially in the mid bass- is improved by a considerable margin. The sound stage narrowed a little for the first few tracks but seemed to be result of improved focus and increased stability of image placement. An upgrade, at around $750 inc s/h that puts a smile on the face.". NOTE - the soundstage narrowing comment above is moot. The effect disappeared the next day while focus remained fine. |
