Looks good. Can't help thinking the turntable might need better support.
Granite Bases for Vandersteen speakers
I had granite bases made made for my Quatros on Richards recommendation they weigh 120 lbs
The bases tightened up the bass mover it down even lower ,focused the midrange and add more depth to the soundstage you can check out the picture in virtual systems
Enjoy the Music

You're right about granite, it does all you say. Yours are custom cut versions of the machinists top plate that have been under my turntable and amp for many years. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 Something I always suspected, but it took many years to hear it, granite imparts a hard edge. Always suspected, because hit it and it makes a high pitched ting or tink type sound. So its there, but might be hard to hear right now. It was for me. Meanwhile there's all the benefits you can hear and already described. Fortunately it turns out the mass makes a great base for springs, and the springs do a great job of erasing the hard edge ringing. I notice a lot of components still on factory feet. If you want to try a nice improvement, Nobsound springs on Amazon are very cost effective. Meantime, good work! |
