A Copernican View of the Turntable System

Dear Dgob: Yes those AT616 are really good supporting the TT but IMHO not so " firm " for a tonearm, I use it too with my AS TT motors.

Regards and enjoy the music,

Re: laser levels.

For anyone interested I have an inexpensive solution. I own a Lazerpro (CL2060) which is a 16" (38 CM) aluminum level with a built-in dot or line laser light. Place it on a nearby surface (check for horizontal with the built in bubble level) adjusted for the height of your motor unit and use the laser line option to project the exact elevation for your arm mount.

I purchased the Lazerpro to facilitate speaker toe-in. That was several years ago but I'm certain it was less than $20.

Dear Nandric, For what it's worth, there is no argument (because I have stopped arguing), and there is no winner (because the outcome is subjective). If you've noticed, I am not posting here as regards my opinion on outboard tonearms and plinth-less SP10s. (The SP10 and Henry's Victor seem to be the two tables for which there are subjective data, plus Nicola's Kuzma.) Further, I will keep my mouth shut until I try it myself.

BUT, what tonearms are you guys using? Given the rather large square "skirt" that surrounds the platter of the SP10 and the space needed for an outboard arm pod, it would seem to me that this can only be done with tonearms that are at least 10-inchers and longer, pivot to stylus. Yes?

Dgob, I wish I could see a photo of your set-up.

Dear Lewm: Do you know where I can get that lasser vial?, thank you in advance.
