Turntable weight roadshow!!!!!
« on: February 26, 2011, 10:19:50 AM »
Tell ya what...if anyone wants to try my weight and see if it makes a difference before you go and spend big$$$ I will more than gladly roadshow it. Post you're in and all I ask is that you use it a reasonable amount of time to evaluate then send to the next on the list. The last one will send it back to me. Any takers?

No, but you can ask around and find out who is interested and let them know if you like. Wish I could, but stuck down here in South Carolina!!!! I will be seeing the Tom's next week on their voyage to Florida!

What kind of table are you using it on???  And does that even matter?  I guess the spindle is the same size on all tables, but I have seen some are threaded.

I use a Technics SL-QD35 direct drive. I know most think that direct drive is not the way to go but I also have at least 7 more non direct drive tables. HA!!! Spindle is the same....you decide if it's an audible improvement or " magic oil" !!!  :P :P :P

I use a direct drive, Denon DP-51F.  I love it.  Been wanting to try  a few tweaks on it.  Weight and a better cart...  I have been looking at a Sumiko Blue point.

  Thanks again for the offer, and I am definitely in..

I am looking forward to trying it.  I just put an Audio Technica AT-24 on my table, and what a great sounding cart!!!  Also a Platter Matter sorbogel mat.  This Denon is sounding awesome.  ;D

I am trying to upgrade that area these days.  I looks at clamps and weights as some claim big benefits.
One guy I hold n high regard says that a better mat is the way to go.
He claims that weights and clamps add stress and drag that the turntables are not designed for.

Me, have no idea --  :'(
