Whats on your turntable tonight?

Deep Purple - Who Do We Think We Are

A daily learning curve. Between LP’s of the Hindemith set, I slid my fingers to the bottom edge of the SOTA, and realized the sub-assembly was sitting just slightly below the exterior plinth in the arm side, flush on the opposite side. Why all of a sudden?

Then it hit me. The Soundsmith Zephyr is twice the weight of the old Grado by about 5-6 grams, which was mounted when I balanced the table originally. Sure doesn’t seem like a lot does it?, but to the SOTA, it is. Removed the arm/armboard, took out some shot in the reservoir until the arm/Soundsmith ‘leveled’ the sub-assembly again, and good to go. Re-checked everything, re-weighed the cart, etc. Funny thing is, I just checked the platter this morning for level, and it was, at/within the platter.

It ain’t Kansas anymore Dorothy 😁

I've been gone all week so it seems like a treat to be home with my system. Picked up a few records while I was gone. Starting out with Helix - No Rest For The Wicked

Szell conducts Haydn. Box set - Six London Symphonies. The Cleveland Orchestra. Columbia Masterworks 1973
