A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Banquo363,

Sorry, just to add on the 1982 preferance, you get much more playing time to enjoy on his later and much slower rendition and I think the fact that I simply adore the music makes this a plus (not to mention that the more time plus better quality really do appeal on the miserly 'value for money' front)!

Dear Dgob: No doubt the naked TT and stand alone arm board is working, good.

Only as a " precaution ": check with a level/spirit that the tonearm be leveled exactly as the TT platter, I mean in the horizontal plane.

Regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

Raul,

Thanks for the warning. I did spend an inordinate amount of time ensuring that both armtower/arm and tt were levelled exactly the same, within the limitations of the small spirit level that I use for this purpose. If I can find an even more accurate method/tool I will definitely try to make it even more exact if possible. If you (or anyone) have a suggestion of how to improve on this, it would be gratefully received.

Thanks again for your kind help throughout

Dear Dgob: I'm not expert on levels/vials but maybe a digital one could help and with high accuracy and easy to use for that purpose.

regards and enjoy the music,
Raul.

Dear Dgob,
Wonderful post and illuminating descriptions.
For newcomers to this thread and the sceptics out there, it would be good perhaps for you re-cap on what plinth you had used with the SP10Mk2 prior to 'nuding' it?
